The Indian Health Service (IHS) Past Performance Survey is a critical tool for evaluating contractors involved in federal government projects.

The ratings—Excellent, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Unacceptable—are based on objective performance indicators to ensure fair and accurate evaluations. This confidential document helps the government make informed source selections for future contracts by providing a structured framework for assessing a contractor's ability to meet and exceed contractual requirements, manage costs, adhere to timelines, maintain strong business relationships, and ensure customer satisfaction.
