About this file
This is a Past Performance Reference Questionnaire template designed to evaluate contractor performance on federal contracts. The questionnaire is formatted for raters (such as program managers, contracting officers, or end users) to assess a contractor's past performance across nine key evaluation categories on a five-point scale: Exceptional (E), Very Good (VG), Satisfactory (S), Marginal (M), and Unsatisfactory (U), with the option to mark items as Not Applicable (N/A).
The nine evaluation categories include: technical abilities and conformance to specifications; timeliness and schedule adherence; cost management and control; ability to meet special or emergency requirements; management team quality and integration; subcontractor management and coordination; small business subcontracting awards; compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and resource and personnel management. Each category includes a supporting narrative section where raters must provide detailed justification for their ratings, particularly for exceptional or marginal/unsatisfactory ratings. The questionnaire is associated with Solicitation Number 69056726Q000001 for Online Access to ASTM/AASHTO/AWWA Construction Standards and Manuals Subscription Service issued by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration. Completed questionnaires must be returned via email to WFL.Purchasing@dot.gov with the subject line referencing the RFQ number and vendor name, with a deadline of Monday, February 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. When completed, the document is classified as Source Selection Sensitive.

Rating Definitions
| Rating | |
| Definition | |
| Note |
Exceptional (E)
| Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded many to the government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective. |
| To justify an “exceptional” rating, identify multiple significant events and state how they were of benefit to the government. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone merits an “exceptional” rating. Also, there should have been no significant weaknesses identified. |
Very Good
(VG)
| Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded some to the government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective. |
| To justify a “very good” rating, identify a significant event and state how it was a benefit to the government. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified. |
Satisfactory (S)
| Performance met contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contained some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appeared to be or were satisfactory. |
| To justify a “satisfactory” rating, there should have been only minor problems, or major problems the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract/order. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified. A fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be evaluated with a rating lower than “satisfactory” solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract/order. |
Marginal (M)
| Performance did not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated reflected a serious problem for which the contractor did not identify corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions were only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. |
| To justify a “marginal” performance rating, identify a significant event in each category that the contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it affected the government. A “marginal” rating should be supported by referencing the management tool that notified the contractor of the contractual deficiency (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter). |
| Unsatisfactory (U) |
| Performance did not meet most contractual requirements and recovery was not accomplished in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contained a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions were ineffective. |
| To justify an “unsatisfactory” rating, identify multiple significant events in each category that the contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it affected the government. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone merits an “unsatisfactory” rating. An “unsatisfactory” rating should be supported by referencing the management tools used to notify the contractor of the contractual deficiencies (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter. |
