Contractors must immediately notify the Contracting Officer if they no longer meet eligibility requirements. Eligibility documentation may be required, and successful offerors must also be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM).

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Past Performance Survey is a critical tool for evaluating contractor performance for federal contracts. It collects detailed information on contractor names, client details (commercial or federal), project specifics, and contact information for project managers. The survey includes open-ended questions to assess the scope, complexity, and relevance of past contracts, covering aspects like contract type, end goals, patient demographics, planning, staffing, and adherence to timelines. A core component of the survey is the past performance ratings section, which defines and applies a rating scheme (Excellent, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable) across categories such as Quality of Service, Cost Control, Timeliness of Performance, Business Relations, and Customer Satisfaction. These ratings, supported by objective, measurable indicators, are used by the government to assess overall contractor performance and inform future contract awards.
