The NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Evaluation Questionnaire (Form PPQ-0) is a critical document used in federal government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs to assess contractor performance. It is divided into two main sections: Contractor Information (Blocks 1-4) and Client Information (Blocks 5-8). Contractors provide details such as firm name, CAGE code, address, DUNs number, contact information, work performed as (prime, sub, JV), contract number, type, title, location, award/completion dates, and project price. They also describe the project's complexity and relevance to the current submission. The client then completes their information, describes their role, dates the questionnaire, and signs it. The document also includes detailed ratings and definitions (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable) for evaluating performance across various categories: Quality, Schedule/Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, Safety/Security, and General. Clients are asked to circle the adjective rating that best reflects the contractor's performance in specific sub-categories and provide an overall rating, along with narrative remarks on strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies. This questionnaire is vital for evaluating performance risk in future solicitations.

The Small Business Participation Plan is an essential component for all offerors, both large and small businesses, outlining their proposed level of small business involvement in an acquisition. Offerors must identify their prime offeror's size and categories, including designations like Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) or Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). The plan requires a detailed breakdown of the total combined percentage of work performed by large and small businesses, encompassing both prime and sub-contractors. Furthermore, offerors must specify the percentage of participation for each small business subcategory and list the principal supplies or services to be performed by these small businesses. Finally, the plan necessitates a description of the commitment to using small businesses, detailing the nature of these commitments, such as written contracts, joint venturing, or mentor-protégé relationships.
