11. Would you recommend this firm to other agencies?

Check one:

[ ] Highly Recommend [ ] Recommend [ ] Would Not Recommend

12. Overall how would you rate the Contractor’s Quality of Performance?

Please check one

[ ] Outstanding – Requirements are consistently being exceeded and performance is consistently of high quality. The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that was significantly in excess of anticipated achievements and is commendable as an example for others, so that it justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where contractor performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent".

[ ] Excellent - There are no quality issues, and the Contractor has substantially exceeded the contract performance requirements without commensurate additional costs to the Government or your company [ ] Good - Requirements are consistently being met and performance is generally adequate or better. There are no, or very minimal, quality problems, and the Contractor has met the contract requirements.

[ ] Fair - Overall compliance requires minor Agency/Company resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.

[ ] Poor - Requirements are generally met, however sometimes performance is less than adequate. Overall compliance requires significant Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.

[ ] Unsatisfactory – Requirements are generally not being met or performance is consistently of poor quality. Non-conformances are jeopardizing the achievement of contract requirements, despite use of Agency resources. Recovery is not likely. If performance cannot be substantially corrected, it constitutes a significant impediment in consideration for future awards containing similar requirements.
