DoD Fails to Issue Adequate or Timely Appraisals of Contractor Performance | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requires Government officials to evaluate contractor performance in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) (see FAR Part 42.15). CPARS is the Government-wide reporting tool for past performance on contracts. The primary purpose of CPARS is to ensure that current, complete, and accurate information on contractor performance is available for use in procurement source selections. Government officials evaluate contractors in CPARS by preparing a PAR (Performance Assessment Report). PARs are to be prepared at least annually and at the end of the contract.
