AMENDMENT NO
DATE

B.2 Application of Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for Solicitation and Resultant Contract This solicitation and resultant contract will be conducted using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) in accordance with FAR Part 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, as these services are considered a commercial service.

B.3 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

(a) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has implemented Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

(b) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractors portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS are available at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

(e) The Assessing Official will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The Contractor Representative has the option to provide comments on the evaluation, indicate if they concur or do not concur with the evaluation, sign, and then return the evaluation to the Assessing Official. The Contractor Representative has a total of 60 days following the Assessing Official’s evaluation signature date to send comments. If the Contractor Representative sends comments within the first 14 days following the Assessing Official’s signature date and the Assessing Official or Reviewing Official closes the evaluation, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC within 1 day. On day 15 following the Assessing Official’s evaluation signature date, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC with or without Contractor Representative comments and whether or not it has been closed by the Assessing Official or Reviewing Official. If no Contractor Representative comments have been sent and the evaluation has not been closed, it will be marked as “Pending” in PPIRS-RC. If the Contractor Representative sends comments at any time prior to 61 days following the Assessing Official’s evaluation signature date, those comments will be reflected in PPIRS-RC within 1 day. On day 61 following the Assessing Official’s evaluation signature date, the Contractor Representative will be “locked out” of the evaluation and may no longer send comments.

(f) The following guidelines apply concerning Contractor Representative use of the past performance evaluation:

(1) Protect the evaluation as "source selection information." After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.

(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, preaward surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.
