Past performance is an evaluation factor in the majority of federal solicitations. Businesses are often required to provide past performance references as part of their proposal package; however, contracting staff may look – and will look, at other past performance data in addition to what was provided in the proposal. One primary source of information is CPARS.

CPARS is a web-enabled application that collects and manages the library of automated Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs). A CPAR assesses a contractor’s performance and provides a record, both positive and negative, on a given contractor during a specific period of time.

This workshop is a comprehensive overview of past performance reporting and CPARS with a focus on what government contractors need to know. Presented by Randy Miller who is the Procurement Center Representative (PCR) with the Small Business Administration (SBA).
