The Government is not obligated to pay any additional amount whereby indirect costs are incurred above the established indirect cost rate ceilings. The contractor shall not recoup amounts occasioned by the incurrence of indirect costs above the established indirect cost rate ceilings on other contracts or grants with the Government.

This advance understanding shall not change any monetary ceiling, contract obligation, or specific cost allowable or disallowance provided for in this contract.

In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 42.15, CMS will complete final Contractor performance evaluations. Additional interim performance evaluations may be prepared at Contracting Officer discretion, as necessary. Final performance evaluations will be completed upon contract expiration.

CMS will utilize the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) in order to execute Contractor performance evaluations. CPARS is a secure Internet website located at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/cparsmain.htm. CMS will register the Contractor in CPARS upon receipt of the name and email address of two (2) individuals who will be responsible for serving as the Contractor’s primary and alternate CPARS contacts. Once CMS registers the Contractor in CPARS, the Contractor will receive an automated CPARS email message that contains User IDs and instructions for creating a password.

The names and emails of these two (2) individuals are to be delivered to Kelly Dempsey with 30 days of contract award.

Once a performance evaluation is issued, the Contractor’s primary and alternate CPARS contact will receive an email instructing them to logon to CPARS in order to review the performance evaluation.

The Contractor has 30 days from the date of performance evaluation issuance in which to review the evaluation. If the Contractor is in agreement with the performance evaluation outcome, the evaluation becomes final. Should the Contractor be in disagreement with the performance evaluation outcome, rebuttal comments must be submitted via the CPARS within 30 days from date the evaluation was issued by CMS. Any disagreement between the Contracting Officer and the Contractor will be referred to the Deputy Director, CMS Office of Acquisition and Grants Management, whose decision will be final. Copies of each performance evaluation and Contractor responses, if any, will be retained as part of the official contract file and will be used to support future award decisions.

Evaluations will also be stored for a 3-year period in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at www.ppirs.gov.

Contractors may obtain CPARS training material and register for on-line training at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/allapps/cpcbtdlf.htm. There is no fee for registration or use of the

CPARS.
