(VG)�Very�Good� Performance�meets�contractual�requirements�and� exceeds�some�to�the�Government’s/Owner’s� benefit.�The�contractual�performance�of�the� element�or�sub-element�being�assessed�was� accomplished�with�some�minor�problems�for�which� corrective�actions�taken�by�the�contractor�were� effective.�

A�Very�Good�rating�is�appropriate�when�the� Contractor�successfully�performed�a�significant� event�that�was�a�benefit�to�the� Government/Owner.�There�should�have�been�no� significant�weaknesses�identified.�
