By Developing An Excellent
Past Performance Record

Dramatic change is blowing through the defense contracting establishment.

In proposing its new Accountability in Contracting Act, Congress is showing its intention to demand increased accountability for past performance from defense contractors.

The quotation below from a top government procurement executive illustrates very dramatically the movement toward greater emphasis on past contract performance in selecting future vendors.

“Since the passage of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, all Federal Departments and Agencies have initiated procedures to record contractor performance information in source selection. Current performance assessment is a basic ‘best practice’ for good contract administration, and is one of the most important tools available for ensuring good contractor performance.”

10 past performance tips

1. Take advantage of your right to comment in writing on any adverse past performance information (PPI).

2. Mark all PPI documents "For Official Use Only" or " Source Selection Sensitive Information."

3. Ensure that all performance assessments are consistently applied to your contract.

4. The supporting narrative rationale for the performance rating is the most critical part of the PPI assessment.

5. Performance assessments are the responsibility of the program management and contracting team. Make sure your input is known.

6. Develop performance assessments throughout the contract period, and not just at the end of that period.

7. Make sure that your PPI has been tailored to your specific contract.

8. Ensure that selection officials are using the most current PPI.

9. Make sure that all PPI data is collected from reliable sources.

10. Ensure that you are permitted to comment on any adverse PPI.
