10 Q&As for the RFP FA520920R0001 as of 7 Jan 20.pdf

# Topic Reference Question Response Received Answered

1 General NA

Does the Government accept CPARS instead of Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) filled out by the service acceptor?

The Government already has an access to the system and it is utilized for further research of the Past Performance Information (PPI) when needed. Therefore it would be the best if each PPI is corresponding to the PPQ. If it is consequently impossible to obtain the PPQ from the service acceptor, the Government still would accept the CPARS.
