The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is a standardized form used in federal, state, and local government procurement to evaluate contractor performance. It collects detailed information on a contractor's past projects, including contract details, project descriptions, and complexity of work. The form features a client-completed section with adjective ratings (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable) across key performance areas: Quality, Schedule/Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, and Safety/Security. Clients also provide an overall rating and narrative feedback on strengths, weaknesses, and any issues encountered. The PPQ aims to assess performance risk for future government contracts, ensuring transparency and accountability in contractor selection.
