Performance data from all military service is maintained in this system. Only government employees can access the system. In addition to whatever past/present performance data for a contractor is found in CCASS, the Government will consider contractors’ past and present performance of other relevant contracts they have recently performed. The Government may seek additional past and present performance data from other automated and non-automated sources as well. Therefore, contractors must provide the information identified in paragraphs (b) through (i) below for any contracts that they desire the Government to recognize in the evaluation of past and present performance. In addition to the prime contractors performancer information, past and present performance information will also be sought on subcontractors, teaming partners, joint ventures and other companies that are part of the proposal.
