It includes, for example, the contractor's record of: (1) Conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good workmanship; (2) Forecasting and controlling costs; (3) Adherence to schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; (4) Reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; (5) Reporting into databases; (6) Integrity and business ethics; and (7) Business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Reporting PPI through CPARS facilitates compliance with the requirements of Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) memorandum, "Improving the Collection and Use of Information about Contractor Performance and Integrity". After award, the contractor's CR will be granted access to the applicable contracts' CPARS record. The CR will ensure that their contact information is accurate in CPARS at all times. The contracting officer/contracting officer representative will evaluate the contractor's performance, generally every 365 days to coincide with option renewal, and at the end of contract performance. Reports shall be assigned in CPARS to the contractor's designated CR for comment. The contractor's CR will have 30 days to submit any comments and then re-assign the report to the VA contracting officer acting as the Assessing Official (AO) within CPARS. Failure to register and respond within the 30 days will result in the Government's evaluation being placed on file in the database with a statement that the contractor failed to respond. It is the responsibility of the contractor to notify the contracting officer of any updates made to CPARS information if, at any time during the life of the contract, the individual assigned as the CR changes.
