The past performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2), the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance shall be considered. Relevance and quality of performance will be combined to establish one past performance rating for each Offeror.

Relevant means that submitted projects are similar in terms of scope, magnitude of effort and complexity as described and required. The relevancy of each Offeror’s submitted Past Performance projects will be rated based on the quality of each project’s narrative describing the work performed (i.e., how well the project’s scope is described) and how pertinent the work is to the SOW, as well as the depth and breadth of each project’s scope (i.e., how many of the SOW program areas are covered by the project’s scope).

If available, submit respective Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) Performance Evaluations ratings for the project. For projects which were constructed for other government entities, submit the performance appraisal sheets used by that government entity if available. There is no page limitation for Past Performance Evaluation. Past Performance Evaluation are excluded from the page count. No other past performance record shall be submitted other than those related to the projects submitted per section 3.2.

3.3.1.1 CPARS Evaluations

Firms are requested to retrieve their CPARS past performance information directly from CPARS available at:

https://www.cpars.gov/. CPARS is an electronic repository of performance information collected by all the major federal performance reporting systems. Logging onto CPARS will require the following:

All Department of Defense (DoD) employees (military and civilian), including DoD Contractors that are working on site (military/government facilities) or contractors working offsite using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) are required to use certificates from DoD Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to access CPARS. If the contractor doesn't work on site or with GFE they are encouraged to obtain and use a certificate from an External Certificate Authority (ECA). For DoD users, the use of PKI Login is Mandatory. Federal and Contractor users can use the PKI login category if they have PKI.

External Certificate Authority External Certificate Authorities (ECAs) and Interim External Certificate Authorities (IECAs) provide digital certificates to the DoD's private industry partners, contractors using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities, allied partners, and other agencies.

Additional information about the PKI certificate is at https://www.cpars.gov web page.

You will also need your DUNS number and Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) to log onto CPARS. The MPIN number was selected by whoever registered your firm in the System for Award Management (SAM) Registry at https://www.sam.gov/SAM. If you do not know your MPIN number, you will need to contact the SAM help desk by emailing them from the email link on the https://www.sam.gov/ SAM/ web page. Please be aware that they will only release the MPIN number to the person who originally registered your firm.

There are two other ways to obtain a copy of CPARS evaluations as follows: (1) Contact your government point of contact for the project you mentioned and ask them if they can send you a copy, or (2) Apply for “Contractor/Senior Contractor Representative” access at https://www.cpars.gov. This type of access is issued to only one person within the firm, typically a member of senior management. In addition to access to your completed CPARS performance evaluations, you will also be able to view status of evaluations which have not yet been completed. Following receipt of your application request, you will be emailed a logon and access instructions.

3.3.1.2 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

The Past Performance Questionnaire may be used to provide or supplement a firm’s past performance with other than U.S. Governmental Clients. For projects submitted that are not covered in the CPARS database or other Government Performance Rating System, submit a PPQ. The Past Performance Questionnaire is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client. The Past Performance Questionnaire should be completed by an owner or owner’s representative not affiliated with your firm. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact.

Completed Past Performance Questionnaires should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client Information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

3.3.1.3 Government Utilization of Alternate Information Sources for Past Performance

The Government will assess the past performance on projects submitted under the Factor 1 – Subfactor 1 Contractor Qualifications and reserves the right to conduct telephone interviews with points of contact identified in the proposal or to review personal knowledge. In addition, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance of the Offeror on the submitted projects and any other previous work. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror's proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.
