Two forms are provided to document your opinion: 1) Performance Rating Form; and 2) Supplemental Comment Form. Please fill out each form in accordance with the instructions provided on each. Please use the following standards in arriving at your rating:

Acceptable - Contractor, on balance, met customer expectations and requirements. The Evaluation Factor response is expected to introduce some risk in achieving the objectives. An ACCEPTABLE rating indicates that strengths offset weaknesses. Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains some minor problems for which correction actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

Unacceptable - Contractor, on balance, was either marginal or did not meet customer expectations and requirements. The Evaluation Factor response is expected to introduce excessive risk making it highly unlikely that performance would meet the objectives. An UNACCEPTABLE rating indicates that the submission contains significant weaknesses and few, if any, strengths. Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.
