Purpose.

It includes, for example, the contractor's record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship; the contractor's record of forecasting and controlling costs; the contractor's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the contractor's history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the contractor's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Contractor past performance information is one of the tools that support Army efforts to acquire best value and is used to evaluate performance risk in source selection. The feedback provided by the government to the contractor in collecting PPI, and the knowledge that PPI will be used in future source selection decisions, should result in improved performance and a greater contractor focus on customer satisfaction.

Contractor Performance Assessment Reports System (CPARS): CPARS shall be prepared IAW AFARS Subpart 42 upon physical completion of the contract. If the period of performance will exceed 18 months, an “interim” assessment report shall be prepared at the completion of 12 months performance and annually thereafter until the contract is physically complete. An out-of-cycle or “addendum” report may be prepared if there is a need to record an extraordinary event prior to the next regularly scheduled evaluation or if it is necessary to report a meaningful occurrence during the period between physical completion of the contract and contract closeout. Additionally, addendum reports may be prepared to record contractor’s performance relative to contract closeout and other administrative requirements (e.g. final indirect cost proposals, technical data, etc.).

Completion Due Date. The government will complete the CPARS within 60 days after the end of the assessment rating period (if applicable).

Evaluators. The Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer’s Representative will jointly complete the performance assessment.

Contracts Performance Elements. The contractor’s performance shall be assessed in accordance with elements and rating system set forth in AFARS Subpart 42.

Contractor Review. The Contracting Officer will furnish a copy of the CPARS to the contractor requesting that the contractor submit comments, rebutting statements, and/or additional information to the Contracting Officer within 30 calendar days of receipt. Failure to respond within the designated timeframe will be taken as agreement with the assessment.

Contract Concurrence. Where a contractor concurs with, or takes no exception to a CPARS, such report shall be considered final and releasable for use in source selection and other deliberative purposes.

Contractor Rebuttal. Where a contractor takes exception to a performance report, the Contracting Officer will review the contractor’s rebuttal or comments and make appropriate changes. If the Contracting Officer makes changes, the changed rating will be reflected in the narrative. The Contracting Officer will make all reasonable efforts to reconcile the report and the contractor’s comments. However, it is not necessary that they reach agreement on the report where such is clearly impracticable. The contractor’s rebuttal or comments shall be made part of the CPARS.

Resolving Disagreements between the Government and the Contractor. In the event disagreements between the parties regarding the CPARS occur, the Contracting Officer will review the rebuttal and make appropriate changes. If no agreement is reached, the CPARS is forwarded to the Reviewing Official (Director of Contracting) along with the Contracting Officer’s Findings and Recommendation and supporting documentation. The decision of the Reviewing Official is final. Copies of the CPARS and the contractor’s response and review comments, if any, shall be retained as part of the evaluation.

Release of Contractor Performance Evaluation Information. The evaluation will not be released to other than government personnel and the contractor whose performance is evaluated. The performance evaluation information will be input into the applicable module within Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) database (or Government system in use at time of the evaluation).

Source Selection Information. Departments and agencies will electronically access the CPARS information to support future award decisions.

33. Alternate disputes resolution: In furtherance of Federal policy and the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1990 (ADR Act), Public Law 101-552 and FAR Clause 52.233-1, Subparagraph (d) (2) (1) (B) (2), the Contracting Officer will try to resolve all post award acquisition issues in controversy by mutual agreement of both parties.
