Abstract
The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) mandates the use of contractor past performance information (PPI) as an evaluation factor in all source selections involving negotiated procurements above $1,000,000. Different agencies within Federal Government have lowered the dollar threshold to as little as $100,000 depending on the type of contract action. Using PPI as a factor in all source selections was a tactic modeled after industry best practices. The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) envisioned that industry PPI collected by Federal agencies would eventually be automated, maintained on secure databases, and available to all Government agencies for source-selection purposes. This practice would eventually lead to efficiencies similar to those in the private sector. However, along the way, Government and private sector industry have begun to disagree about how PPI is collected and how PPI is used. Industry prefers a passive system of collecting delivery and quality data during contract performance, while Federal government uses both a passive system (similar to industry) as well as an active system of pulling PPI during contract performance.--p. i.
