Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipp.gov%2F&data=05%7C01%7Clashondra.wynn%40bie.edu%7C0b7e17d960024298651208db36a400b4%7C0693b5ba4b184d7b9341f32f400a5494%7C0%7C0%7C638163850243718010%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=FV1rLnl9wcXDluZUApo6Hpra9aA6OdV2ohj7RwuRdg4%3D&reserved=0

Occupational Therapy Services Page 9 of 14

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(End of Clause)

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION (Revised 04/01/2020)

In accordance with 25 U.S.C. § 3201 et seq. (Pub. L. 101-630), the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act; 34 U.C.C. § 20351, et seq. (Pub. L. 101-647), the Crime Control Act of 1990, as amended; and 441 Departmental Manual, Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements, all positions with duties and responsibilities involving regular contact with or control over Indian children are subject to a background investigation and determination of suitability for employment. Accordingly, all such positions require a favorable background screening by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Personnel Security and Suitability Program and a favorable background investigation by the Defense Counterintelligence Service Agency (DCSA).

The documentation required to initiate a background investigation shall be completed for any Contractor employee that will be onsite during the contract’s performance or have access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The complete submittal of the background investigation paperwork to the BIA/BIE will be accomplished within 14 days after contract award for service contracts or, for construction contracts, before a Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued by the Contracting Officer. Pending the successful completion of a background investigation by the BIA/BIE and/or DCSA, the Contractor who has been granted a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must, at all times, remain within sight and under

Occupational Therapy Services Page 10 of 14 the supervision of a Government employee (or other person designated by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), who has successfully completed the background investigation.

If an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made, an employee shall not be allowed onsite. If the Contractor’s employees are found onsite, without the proper authorization, the employee will face legal liability and the Contractor may have their contract terminated for default.

Additionally, the individual and/ or the company who proposed to employ this individual may be determined to be non-responsible if an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made and may be deemed ineligible for contract award. If an unfavorable final background investigation determination is made, the contract may be terminated and the employee in question shall not be authorized to provide service to the BIA/BIE if the services involve contact with or regular control over Indian children.

It is solely the COR’s responsibility to initiate background checks for all Contractors and their employees in the BIE BEARCUBS system, which includes but is not limited to appropriate investigative forms and/or inquiries about their previous investigation; and, obtain a screening (applicant and suitability) determination, and subsequent final background investigation.

The Contracting Officer will consult with the COR when questions arise as to whether or not the scope of work of a contract requires background investigations for contractor personnel. If the Contracting Officer or COR believes the scope of work performed by contract personnel should not require a background investigation, the Personnel Security Officer will be contacted for concurrence and has the final authority to determine if background investigation(s) are required.
