This procurement is subject to Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting PPIRS-SR), authorized by the Department of Defense for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services. The quality and delivery classifications identified for an offeror in PPIRS-SR will be used in conjunction with other provisions of this solicitation in performing the past performance evaluation. b) The purpose of the PPIRS-SR is to provide contracting personnel with quantifiable past performance information regarding delivery and quality, as collected from existing DoD reporting systems, during the source selection process. PPIRS-SR uses the past performance data collected to classify each supplier's performance by Federal Supply Class(es) or Service Code(s). c) Quality: The method used in PPIRS-SR to classify the quality of a supplier's past performance is a comparison of quality records among all suppliers who have provided goods or services to the Federal Government which are categorized in the same Federal Supply Class or Service Class (FSC). Based on the comparison among suppliers in a specific FSC group, suppliers are classified by PPIRS-SR into a color rating that represents the supplier's overall quality performance for that specific Federal Supply Class or Service Class. The following is a summarization of the PPIRS-SR classification colors: Dark Blue:Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group* Purple:Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group* Green:Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group* Yellow:Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group* Red:Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group* *If all supplier performance for an entire FSC group are equal, all suppliers in that group will be classified Green. d) Delivery: Supplier delivery past performance is classified in PPIRS-SR by the supplier's Weighted Delivery Score. Delivery scores are calculated using the number of line items delivered and a weighting factor, which reflects the length of time a delivery was overdue. e) PPIRS-SR classifications are established monthly for each suppliers and can be reviewed at www.ppirs.gov Suppliers are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications. Offerors are encouraged to review their own classifications as well as the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR Procedures Manual and the PPIRS-SR User Guide available at www.ppirs.gov The method to challenge a rating is also found on the afore-mentioned website. 52.215-4583Disclosure of Unit Prices (Local Clause) Unless the Offeror notifies the contracting officer of an objection to disclosure of its unit price (prior to submission of its initial proposal), it is the Government's intent to publicly release (which would include, but is not limited to, a public award synopsis, contractor debrief, procurement history web posting, or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request) the unit price(s) stated in the contract awarded under this solicitation. Any objection must be submitted in writing, providing a detailed explanation of how release of the awarded unit price would result in substantial competitive harm to the contractor. Objections will be reviewed to determine whether harm has been substantiated. Failure to timely notify the contracting officer waives any objection to disclosure of the unit price.
