Annual Reviews And Contract Benchmarks

Past Performance Evaluations Vital in Contractor Selection

Annual Reviews and Contract Benchmarks

Past performance evaluations are crucial for selecting contractors, according to the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulation) 421502. These evaluations assess a contractor's past actions and performance under previous contracts and orders, providing valuable insights for agencies considering a contract award.

Strengthening Agency Practices

At the next AcqStats (Acquisition Statistical Reporting) conference, agencies will be asked to discuss their efforts in strengthening their past performance evaluation practices. This is a crucial step in ensuring that agencies make informed decisions when choosing contractors.

Final Assessment Reports

Final performance assessment reports must be completed upon completion of a contract, providing a comprehensive evaluation of a contractor's work. These reports are essential for future contract considerations and agency risk management.

Past Performance Relevance

Past performance is critical in every aspect of contractor selection. Agencies should thoroughly review and consider a contractor's past performance to make well-informed decisions that mitigate risk and enhance contract outcomes.
