About this file

This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire template used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Procurement Office to evaluate contractor performance on the Electronic Tax Preparation and Transmission Support (ESTA) contract. The questionnaire is directed to client/customer companies and seeks detailed feedback from project respondents regarding contractor performance across 12 evaluation areas.

The evaluation uses a three-tier rating system—Acceptable, Unacceptable, or Neutral—with supporting comments required for each rating. Acceptable ratings indicate the contractor met or exceeded contractual requirements over the past five years with only minor corrective actions needed. Unacceptable ratings reflect failure to meet contractual requirements with ineffective corrective actions and unacceptably high performance risk. Neutral ratings apply when insufficient performance information exists over the past five years or when an inadequate number of verifiable references are provided. The 12 evaluation questions assess issue identification and mitigation, technical documentation quality, government oversight requirements, multi-project management, technology utilization, cost and schedule management during requirement changes, visibility into performance metrics, stakeholder relations, personnel resource sufficiency, labor mix and skill levels, communication clarity, and subcontractor management. Completed questionnaires must be emailed to the IRS Procurement Office contacts: Ladoris.R.Tuck@irs.gov, Joan.B.Estelly@irs.gov, and Patricia.E.Brown@irs.gov, with Patricia E. Brown identified as the Contracting Officer.

EVALUATION

Below are specific questions relating to the Contractor’s performance in the areas of quality, timeliness, cost control, business relations and customer satisfaction. Please rate the Contractor for each question on a scale as either Acceptable, Unacceptable or Neutral. Indicate your rating by placing an “X” in the box of your selected rating for each question. Please type comments in the section provided below each question to support the rating given. Please email the completed questionnaire to the IRS Procurement Office, Ladoris.R.Tuck@irs.gov, Joan.B.Estelly@irs.gov and Patricia.E.Brown@irs.gov.

ACCEPTABLE: The offeror’s past performance for the contract demonstrated performance that met or exceeded contractual requirements over the past five years. The contractual performance of the element may have contained some minor problems for which proposed corrective actions taken by the contractor appear satisfactory, or completed corrective actions were satisfactory. There was an acceptable amount of risk to successful contract performance.

UNACCEPTABLE: The offeror’s past performance for the contract demonstrated performance that did not meet contractual requirements over the past five years; recovery for those projects is not likely in a timely or cost effective manner. The contractual performance of the element contained serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective. There was an unacceptably high risk that the contractor will not successfully perform.

NEUTRAL: The absence of relevant present and past performance information over the past five years or where the offeror has not provided a sufficient number of references that can be reached who can verify contract performance will result in the assignment of a neutral rating.

The offeror has little or no past performance for similar work upon which to base a meaningful performance risk prediction; therefore the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
