    9000-0142, Past Performance Information.

B. Need and Uses

    This clearance covers the information that offerors and contractors 
must submit to comply with the following Federal Acquisition Regulation 
(FAR) requirements: Preaward. For responses during source selection.
     FAR 15.305(a)(2)(ii). This section requires solicitations 
to describe the approach for evaluating past performance, including 
evaluating offerors with no relevant performance history, and providing 
offerors an opportunity to identify past or current contracts 
(including Federal, State, and local government and private) for 
efforts similar to the Government requirement. Solicitations also must 
authorize offerors to provide information on problems encountered on 
their identified contracts and the offeror corrective actions. Per FAR 
15.304(c)(3), past performance must be evaluated in all source 
selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions expected to exceed 
the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT) unless the contracting 
officer documents the reason past performance is not an appropriate 
evaluation factor for the acquisition.
     FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors--Commercial 
Products and Commercial Services. This provision requires offerors, per 
paragraph (b)(10), to submit past performance information, when 
included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant 
contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including 
contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other 
relevant information).
    Postaward. For responses in the Contractor Performance Assessment 
Reporting System (CPARS).
     FAR 42.1503(d). Requires contractors be afforded up to 14 
calendar days from the notification date that a past performance 
evaluation has been entered into CPARS to submit comments, rebutting 
statements, or additional information. Past performance information is 
relevant information regarding a contractor's actions under previously 
awarded contracts or orders, for future source selection purposes. 
Source selection officials may obtain past performance information from 
a variety of sources.
    Contracting officers use the information to support future source 
selection decisions.
