The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is a critical evaluation tool used by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to assess the past performance of an Offeror under consideration for a U.S. Government contract. It seeks feedback from evaluators regarding various performance metrics including management of subcontractors, quality of work, ability to adhere to schedules, compliance with safety and labor standards, and overall integrity. Evaluators are instructed to use a standardized rating system ranging from "Exceptional" to "Unacceptable" and must provide justification for lower ratings if applicable. The form also addresses whether the contractor successfully handled performance-related issues independently, if the client was satisfied with the deliverables, and the contractor’s opportunity to respond to negative feedback. The completed form aids the government in decision-making for contract awards, highlighting the importance of past performance in achieving project goals while ensuring quality and compliance within federal guidelines. Evaluators are encouraged to submit the completed PPQ promptly to facilitate the Offeror's quote submission process.
