CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM

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.

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 a 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.

https://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.gov/

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. 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.

The evaluation techniques described under FAR 15.404-1(c) through (g), as determined appropriate, may also be performed in further determining the reasonableness of the proposal. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business.

For additional information, see FAR 31.201-3, Determining Reasonableness.

(b) Unbalanced Pricing. All offers priced line items shall be analyzed to determine if prices are unbalanced. An offer may be rejected if it is determined that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

(a) This acquisition will utilize the Lowest Priced Technically acceptable (LPTA) procedures to make a best value award. This is a competitive LPTA in which technical shall be rated Acceptable or Unacceptable. By submission of its offer, the Offeror accepts all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Offerors with Unacceptable tactical ratings will not be considered for award. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify and exception to the solicitation and conditions and provide complete accompanying rational. While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the technical Acceptable/Unacceptable process, by its nature, is subjective; therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the evaluation process.

(b) The Government intends to make ONE award based on the evaluation of proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, technical requirements, and also provides the best value to the Government based on the results of the evaluation

LPTA EVALUATION PROCESS

The LPTA evaluation process will be accomplished as follows:

(a) Technical Acceptability. Each offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated to determine if the Offeror provides a sound, compliant approach that meets the requirements of the detailed specifications provided in this solicitation and demonstrates a thorough knowledge and understanding of those requirements. An evaluation rating of Technically Acceptable/Unacceptable will be assigned upon completion of the technical proposal evaluations. If an offeror receives a technical rating of “Unacceptable” for any subfactor, they will not be considered for contract award.

(b) Past Performance Evaluation.

(1) Past performance evaluation results in an assessment of the Government’s confidence in the Offeror’s ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements. The overall confidence assessment will be based upon the recent, relevancy, and quality evaluation of all references reviewed. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated record of performance in meeting users' needs. The performance confidence assessment is rated after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance, focusing on quality of performance that is relevant to this requirement. If an Offeror receives a past performance rating of “No Confidence”, they will not be considered for contract award.
