    J-5 Past Performance Questionnaire.pdf
    The Performance Questionnaire is a document used in source selection processes, likely for federal government RFPs, grants, or state/local RFPs. It requests assistance in evaluating a contractor's past performance. The questionnaire is divided into two main sections: one to be completed by the offeror (contractor) and another by an evaluating organization representative. The offeror provides basic contract information such as name, address, contract number, dates, total value, type of contract, and a description of requirements. The evaluating organization representative provides their name, position, organization, phone number, and the months performance was monitored. The core of the evaluation involves rating the contractor across seven key areas: Quality of Products and Services, Performance (as General Contractor or Architect/Engineer), Technical Requirements, Schedule, Cost Control, Customer Satisfaction, and an Overall Assessment. Each area is rated using a six-point scale: Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, or Not Observed. A comments section is also included for additional feedback. This questionnaire is a critical tool for assessing a contractor's capabilities and past success to inform future contract awards.
    J-6 Master Subcontracting Plan.pdf
    The Master Subcontracting Plan outlines a framework for federal contractors to meet small business subcontracting goals. It details how individual goals for small (SB), small-disadvantaged (SDB), women-owned (WOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned (SDVOSB), and HUBZone small businesses will be established for each contract, including percentages and descriptions of products/services. The plan requires contractors to identify potential sources, develop methods for setting goals, and specify whether indirect costs are included. A Subcontract Plan Administrator will oversee the program, ensuring equitable opportunities for small businesses through outreach, internal guidance for buyers, and maintaining source lists. The plan mandates the flow-down of subcontracting clauses to eligible subcontractors and requires periodic reporting via the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS), transitioning to SAM.gov in 2026. Contractors must also maintain records to document compliance with the plan, including solicitation and award activities. Attachment (A) provides a template for individual subcontract plan goals, including specific percentages for various small business categories.
