Upon receipt of the vessel and all deliverables, which meet all the requirements of the Contract, Government shall execute and deliver to Contractor the Certificate of Delivery and Acceptance in the form set forth in Attachment J-4.

(b) The Contractor is required to identify the Government as the owner of the vessel for the purposes of vessel registration and certification even before the acceptance of the vessel by the Government.

(b) Identification of the Government as the owner of the vessel as required under paragraph (b) of this clause does not transfer the title of the vessel or the risk of loss of the vessel to the Government if the said identification took place prior to the Government’s acceptance of the vessel.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS - 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 (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 CPARS for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3. We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer 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 https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2042_15.html https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2042_15.html

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.
