EXCLUSIONS

Exclusion record identifies parties excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain types of Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits. Exclusions are also referred to as “suspensions” and “debarments.” The contractor is required to check exclusions located at https://sam.gov/ for each person or business providing services under this contract. During the performance of this contract the Contractor is prohibited from using any individual or business with active exclusions.

CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)

1. As prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 42.15, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) evaluates contractor past performance on all construction contracts that exceed $750,000 and shares those evaluations with other Federal Government contract specialists and procurement officials. The FAR requires that the contractor be provided an opportunity to comment on past performance evaluations prior to each report closing. To fulfill this requirement VA uses an online database, CPARS.

2. Each contractor whose construction contract award is estimated to exceed $750,000 is required to register with the CPARS database at the following web address: https://www.cpars.gov/ Help in registering can be obtained by contacting Customer Support Desk at 207-438-1690. Registration should occur no later than thirty days after contract award and must be kept current should there be any change to the contractor's registered representative.

3. For contracts with a period of one year or less, the contracting officer will perform a single evaluation when the contract is complete. For contracts exceeding one year, the contracting officer will evaluate the contractor's performance annually. Interim reports will be filed each year until the last year of the contract, when the final report will be completed. The report shall be assigned in CPARS to the contractor's designated representative for comment. The contractor representative will have thirty days to submit any comments and re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer.

4. Failure to have a current registration in the CPARS database, or to re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer within those thirty days, will result in the Government's evaluation being placed on file in the database with a statement that the “contractor failed to respond.”
