H.16 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (Dec 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to follow this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted to record your contract performance as FAR 42.15 requires.

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.

3) We request that you give 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 calendar days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

https://www.ipp.gov/ mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) 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 http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for Online Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

5) Within 60 days after a performance period ends, the CO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/.

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

b) Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official’s narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 – 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating “No comment” in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government.

e) If you do not sign and submit the CPARS in 30 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: “The report was received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment.”

f) Your response is due within 30 calendar days after receiving the CPARS.

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 submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer 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.

(2) Is considered small for the size standard under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract.

(4) Orders expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and that are—
