C03 Contractor Retention of Supply Chain Traceability Documentation (SEP 2016)
(1) By submitting a quotation or offer, the contractor agrees that, when the contractor is not the manufacturer of the item, it is confirming that it currently has or will obtain before delivery and shall retain documented evidence (supply chain traceability documentation) that the item is from the approved manufacturer and conforms to the technical requirements. The retention period is five years after final payment under this contract.
(2) At a minimum, the supply chain traceability documentation for the item shall include: basic item description, part number and/or national stock number, manufacturing source, manufacturing source’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, and clear identification of the name and location of all supply chain intermediaries between the manufacturer to the contractor to item(s) acceptance by the Government. The documentation should also include, where available, the manufacturer's batch identification for the item(s), such as date codes, lot codes, or serial numbers.

If the contractor fails to retain or provide the documentation or the contracting officer finds the documentation to be unacceptable, corrective action may be taken including, but not limited to, cancellation of undelivered orders or rejection of delivered supplies.
L06 Agency Protests (DEC 2016) Interested parties may file an agency level protest with the contracting officer or may request an independent review by the chief of the contracting office (CCO). Independent review by the CCO is an alternative to consideration by the contracting officer and is not available as an appellate review of a contracting officer decision on a protest previously filed with the contracting officer. Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest with the CCO for independent review, protests will be presumed to be protests to the contracting officer.
L08 Use of Past Performance Information Retrieval System—Statistical Reporting in Past Performance Evaluations (OCT 2016)
(1) The Past Performance Information Retrieval System-Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) application (http://www.ppirs.gov/) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers’ past performance.
(2) PPIRS-SR collects quality and delivery data on previously awarded contracts and orders from existing Department of Defense reporting systems to classify each supplier’s performance history by Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC). The PPIRS-SR application provides the contracting officer quantifiable past performance information regarding a supplier's quality and delivery performance for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased.
(3) The quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in PPIRS-SR will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier’s past performance in conjunction with the supplier’s references (if requested). The Government reserves the right to award to the supplier whose offer represents the best value to the Government.
(4) PPIRS-SR classifications are generated monthly for each contractor and can be reviewed by following the access instructions in the PPIRS-SR User’s Manual found at https://www.ppirs.gov/pdf/PPIRS-SR_UserMan.pdf. Contractors are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications only. Suppliers are encouraged to review their own classifications, the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and classification methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR User's Manual, and PPIRS-SR Evaluation Criteria available from the references at https://www.ppirs.gov/pdf/PPIRS-SR_DataEvaluationCriteria.pdf. The method to challenge a rating generated by PPIRS-SR is provided in the User’s Manual.
