To Offeror:

Please provide this Past Performance Questionnaire package to each of your “Reference” government contracting offices according to the instructions in Section L of the Solicitation.

To Offeror’s Reference:

The Virginia Contracting Activity (VaCA) requests your assistance in providing past performance information on the Contractor (a prospective “Offeror” under our Solicitation) and corresponding contract listed herein. Please complete this Questionnaire in accordance with the Instructions set forth immediately below.

VaCA agrees to protect your information as For Official Use Only/Source Selection Information consistent with FAR 2.101 and 3.104, as noted in the header on each page of this Questionnaire package.

Instructions for Offeror’s Reference:

1. Please complete the attached Past Performance Questionnaire regarding the Offeror based upon your most recent Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) prepared in accordance with FAR 42.15; provided, you do not actually enter your CPARs into the Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS) or the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

NOTE: If your office enters its CPARs into CPARS or PPIRS, please so advise the VaCA contact to that effect rather than completing this Questionnaire. This will enable VaCA to retrieve your latest CPAR for the Offer on-line from CPARS or PPIRS directly.

2. Please use the attached Rating Instruction (or the equivalent you use in producing your CPARs) in providing the rating assessments that best describe the contractor's performance on your contract.

3. Please send a copy of the completed Questionnaire directly to the VaCA Contact by e-mail (preferred) or facsimile so as to be received timely (i.e., no later than 22 April 2024 @ 10:00AM EST).
