It is therefore in the best interest of the Government to afford the parties a full and complete understanding of their respective obligations.

b. Contractor personnel under this contract shall not:

(1) be placed in a position where they are appointed or employed by a Federal Officer, or are under the supervision, direction, or evaluation of a Federal Officer, Military or Civilian.

DA or the Civil Service Commission.

(5) be used in administration or supervision of military procurement activities.

c. Employee Relationships:

(2) Rules, regulations, directions, and requirements which are issued by command authorities under their responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter the installation, or who travel on Government transportation.

TO BE FURNISHED AT TIME OF AWARD

Name (fill-in) ____________________________

Title (fill-in) _____________________________

Email (fill-in) ____________________________

Assessing Official (AO)/Contracting Official or PCO AO/PCO responsibility includes:

• Reviewing evaluation information provided by the AO/CORs

• Validates and sends to the Contractor Representative

• Finalizes the CPAR report after acceptance by the Contractor Representative

Designated Contractor Representative The contractor shall designate representatives to whom the evaluations will be sent automatically and electronically. The name, title, e-mail address and phone number of the designated contractor representative shall be provided to the AO who will, in turn, provide that information to the Activity

CPARS Focal Point for authorization access. Any changes in designated contractor personnel shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor to inform the AO and the Activity CPARS Focal Point. The designated contractor representative has the authority to:

• Receive the Government evaluation from the AO

• Review/comment/return evaluation to AO within 30 calendar days. If the contractor desires a meeting to discuss the CPAR, it must be requested, in writing, no later than seven calendar days from the receipt of the CPAR.

• Request RO review

Reviewing Official (RO) The RO provides the check-and-balance when there is disagreement between the AO and the contractor. The RO must review and sign the assessment when the contractor indicates non-concurrence with the

CPAR. The RO must be a Government employee. The RO has the authority to:

• Provide narrative comment (the RO’s comments supplement those provided by the AO; they do not replace the ratings/narratives provided by the AO)

• Sign the CPAR (at this point, it is considered final and is posted in the CPARS AIS and is available for source selection official use in the PPIRS)

Training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is available online at https://www.cpars.gov/cpcbtdlf.htm.

Frequency of Reporting

Interim Reports: An interim CPAR is limited to contractor performance occurring after the preceding CPAR. To improve efficiency in preparing the CPAR, it is recommended that the CPAR be completed together with other reviews (e.g., award fee determinations, major program events, program milestones and quality assurance surveillance records).

Interim Reports for New Contracts: An interim CPAR is required for new contracts meeting the thresholds identified in Table 1 that have a period of performance greater than 365 calendar days. The first interim CPAR must reflect evaluation of at least the first 180 calendar days of performance under the contract, and may include up to the first 365 calendar days of performance. For contracts with a period of performance of less than 365 calendar days, see “Final Reports” below.

Annual Interim Reports: Interim CPARs are also required every 12 months throughout the entire period of performance of the contract up to the final report. An interim CPAR is also required:

• Upon a significant change within the agency, provided that a minimum of six months of performance has occurred, such as: Change in program or project management responsibility or Transfer of contract, BPA, or BOA order to a different contracting activity.

• An interim CPAR shall be started prior to transfer of Assessing Official Representative or Assessing Official duties from one individual to another if there is six or more months performance to go prior to the next CPAR to ensure continuity.

Final Report: A final CPAR will be completed upon contract completion or delivery of the final major end item on contract. Final Reports are to be prepared on all contracts meeting the thresholds established with a period of performance of less than 365 calendar days. The final CPAR does not include cumulative information but is limited to the period of contractor performance occurring after the preceding CPAR. The CPAR Focal Point has the authority to approve extensions when special circumstances arise.

Addendum Reports: Addendum reports may be prepared, after the final past performance evaluation, to record the contractor’s performance relative to contract closeout, warranty performance and other administrative requirements.

Quality review of the entire evaluation consists of:

• Forwarding the Government evaluation information to the contractor (check with local policy whether the RO or

Contracting Officer should be forwarded a copy prior to its submittal to the contractor)

• Reviewing comments from the designated contractor representative once the evaluation has been returned by the contractor or after 30 calendar days have lapsed

• Modifying the CPAR comments and/or ratings after review of contractor comments, as determined by the AO.

After receiving and reviewing the contractor’s comments on the CPAR, the AO may revise the assessment, including the narrative. The AO will notify the contractor of any revisions made to a report as a result of the contractor’s comments. Such a revised report will not be sent to the contractor for further comment. The contractor will have access to both the original and revised reports in the CPARS AIS when the Government finalizes the evaluation.

• Forwarding evaluations to the RO which are in disagreement or when requested by the contractor or, in the alternative,

• Completing the evaluation if it does not require further RO review.
