    Attachment J.2 is a Past Performance Questionnaire used by the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) Acquisition Services to evaluate contractor performance. This sensitive document is completed by both the contractor and an evaluating organization representative. The contractor provides details such as their name, project name, contract number, period of performance, completion date, contract value, and type of contract, along with a description of the project's key characteristics. The evaluating organization rates the contractor across various performance areas including quality of products and services, overall performance, schedule, technical requirements, cost control, subcontracting, and customer satisfaction (in both routine matters and unexpected difficulties). Additionally, the evaluator assesses the likelihood of repeat business and lists the contractor's strong and weak points, as well as any other projects completed. If applicable, the average award fee percentage earned is also recorded. The questionnaire uses a rating scale of Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, or Not Observed.
