The "Past or Present Performance Survey" is a governmental document designed to collect key information from companies regarding their experience with contracts and subcontracts. It seeks to evaluate a firm's past performance on projects, particularly those involving government contracts, though non-government contracts can also be included. Key sections solicit details about the company, including its structure, management, and unique entity identifier, followed by three designated sections for contractors to provide specifics on individual contracts. For each contract, companies must include information about the contracting agency, project scope, performance roles, subcontracted work, timelines, budget, and quality and safety plans used during execution. Furthermore, it addresses any quality control or safety issues faced, how they were resolved, and the percentage of work completed. The survey culminates with a certification section for the preparer to validate the information. Ultimately, the survey plays a critical role in assessing the qualifications and reliability of potential contractors for future federal and state contracts, supporting decision-making processes in public sector procurement.
