Will the Government please clarify whether you expect to receive one (1) PPAQ for each past performance contract reference (up to three (3) for the prime and one (1) per subcontractor), which could be 7 PPAQs for a prime with four subcontractors, as an example. Or is the requirement to submit no more than three (3) PPAQs, even if the submitt past performance references include a total of 7 or more contracts? This impacts what PPAQs we send out to be received by

Government by the proposal deadline, so a timely answer is critical.

Performance Assessment Questionnaires (PPAQs) to each of the Points of Contact (POCs) identified in the Past

Performance Volume. Only one PPAQ is needed per Past Performance.
