STATISTICAL REPORTING (PPIRS-SR) IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (1) The offeror?s past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2 or 15.305(a)(2), as applicable. 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. (2) 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. PPIRS-SR uses the past performance data collected to classify each supplier?s performance by Federal Supply Class(es) or Service Code(s). (3) 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: 1. Dark Blue:Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group* 2. Purple:Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group* 3. Green:Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group* 4. Yellow:Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group* 5. Red:Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group* * If all supplier performance ratings for an entire FSC group are equal, all suppliers in that group will be classified Green. (4) Delivery: Supplier delivery past performance is classified in PPIRS-SR by the supplier?s percentage of on time deliveries. On time deliveries are calculated using the number of line items delivered and a weighting factor which reflects the length of time a delivery was overdue. (5) PPIRS-SR classifications are established monthly for each supplier and can be reviewed at http://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 http://www.ppirs.gov. The method to challenge a rating is also found on the identified website. (6) Suppliers with no history in PPIRS-SR will be considered to have a neutral PPIRS-SR rating. Due to the interrelationship of supplies and/or services to be provided hereunder, the Government reserves the right to make a single award to the offeror whose offer is considered in the best interest of the Government, price and other factors considered. Therefore, offerors proposing less than the entire effort specified herein may be determined to be unacceptable. 1) Award under this procurement will be made to the technically acceptable quote/offer which is most advantageous to the Government, price and past performance considered. 2) Technically Acceptable - In order to be determined technically acceptable, offers must meet or exceed the specifications, delivery requirements, and other terms and conditions in the solicitation and any subsequent amendments. If applicable, offers must also meet the requirements of FAR 52.211-6 Brand Name or Equal. The offer must be determined to be technically acceptable before further consideration. 3) Price - Evaluation of price will include the following: ( )Single Award evaluation per the paragraph entitled "Single Award for All Items". ( )Split Award evaluation per the paragraph entitled ?Evaluation of Offers for Split Awards?. ( )Transportation costs per FAR 52.247-__@@___. ( )Evaluation of Options per FAR 52.217-__@@__. 4) Past Performance - Evaluation of past performance will be based on information obtained from PPIRS-SR as well as any other sources which may have relevant information. A quote/offer with a low PPIRS-SR rating (red or yellow for quality and/or less than a 70 weighted delivery score) may not represent the most advantageous quote/offer to the Government. F.O.B. DESTINATION (NOV 1991) Sellers must comply with all terms and conditions as outlined in the attached solicitation. WIDE AREA WORKFLOW PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS.
