EVALUATING CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

The General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service (PBS) will begin using Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) modules as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process. The system enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The following are the modules of the system:

(a) Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS): Used to create past performance evaluations on services procurements;

(b) Architect Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS): Used to create past performance evaluations on A/E procurements; and

(c) Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS) module: Used to create past performance evaluations on construction procurements.

Throughout the rest of this section, the term “CPARS” will mean the overall evaluation system (inclusive of the CPARS, ACASS and CCASS evaluation modules).

Each award requiring an evaluation will be registered in CPARS by the Government. Within 30 days of award, the contractor will receive an email that contains user account information, as well as the applicable contract number(s) and evaluation module assigned. The contractor will have one user account set up that will allow access to all three modules.

Contractors are encouraged to visit http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/allapps/cpartrng/webtrain/webtrain_all.htm to sign up for free on-line Contractor Overview training when these sessions are offered. The training session is (2) hours and is specifically for contractor users who will provide Past Performance Evaluation comments on PBS evaluations.

After the contracting officer prepares and releases a contract evaluation, the contractor will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The contractor will have 30 days to respond to the evaluation. GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (e.g., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the contractor. Based on the review, the individual at a level above the contracting officer will issue the ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation.

NOTE: Unless the contractor provides a different point of contact (POC) to the contracting officer after award, the Past Performance Point of Contact (POC) listed on the contractor’s System for Award Management (SAM) profile will be used as the default Past Performance POC. This is the individual who will receive CPARS email alerts.

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.204-7 the contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of this.

Copies of the evaluations, contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file, and may be used by Federal Agencies to support future award decisions.

For any assistance with the CPARS module, please contact the Customer Support Desk at (207) 438-1690 or via email at webptsmh@navy.mil. For technical assistance with the ACASS/CCASS modules, please contact the Customer Support Desk at (207) 438-1690 or via email at webptsmh@navy.mil. For policy or system functionality assistance with the ACASS/CCASS modules, contact the USACE Contractor Appraisal Information Center - Portland District at (503) 808-4590, or via email at cenwp-caic@usace.army.mil. For additional questions, please contact your GSA contracting officer.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP)

Notice to Proceed (NTP) will NOT be issued until the COR has officially notified the CO that approved clearances for proposed employees have been received and approved by the Department of Homeland security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service (DHS, BICE, FPS).

SHALL vs MUST Throughout this solicitation, the terms “shall” and “must “ are used. “Shall” and “must” denote the imperative. They indicate an obligation to act. In this solicitation, and any resulting contract, “shall” and “must” have the same meaning.

SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) REPLACES CCR and ORCA Effective July 30th, 2012, the System for Award Management (SAM) replaces the contractor registration sites CCR and ORCA. In an effort to streamline the acquisition process, SAM was established to consolidate several acquisition systems including CCR, ORCA, and EPLS and create a single repository of contractor information. As a single validated source of data on contractors doing business with the Government, the SAM database enables prospective contractors to update their information in one place.

If you have been using the legacy systems CCR and ORCA, you should now go to http://www.sam.gov to find your information. Training tools are available on the SAM website to help you get familiar with SAM. Start by going to http://www.sam.gov, and then click on the SAM HELP tab. Under User Help you will find the full User Guide as well as Quick Start Guides and Helpful Hints that will help you create an account, migrate your roles from legacy http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/allapps/cpartrng/webtrain/webtrain_all.htm http://www.sam.gov/ systems (if applicable) and perform updates. PLEASE NOTE: SAM is completely free of charge for both registrants and users. You will be required to complete a one-time business registration, with annual updates. As a part of the registration process you will need to provide your DUNS identification number. If you do not have a DUNS number you may contact Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. at (800) 333-0505. You may register in SAM at http://www.sam.gov.

In accordance with FAR Parts 1, 2, 4, 13, 32, and 52 contractors must have an active profile in the SAM database prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement. No award will be made to any contractor without an active profile in SAM.
