    Attachment A - Past Performance Questionnaire.pdf
    The FSS Past Performance Questionnaire is a standardized form used to assess a firm's or agency's performance on a project. It is typically used in the context of government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs to evaluate a contractor's past performance. The questionnaire collects information on the project name, period of performance, contract type, award and completion dates, and awarded/current contract dollar values. It also identifies the assessing official, their contact information, and their association with the firm being rated. The core of the questionnaire involves assessing various performance categories such as quality of product/service, schedule, cost control, business relations, management of key personnel, reliability, customer support, and overall performance, using a five-point scale from Unsatisfactory to Exceptional, with an N/A option. Additional comments can also be provided. This document serves as a critical tool for government entities to evaluate the suitability of potential contractors based on their historical performance.

The document appears to be a basic inventory or categorization of work efforts and associated parties or elements, likely part of a government RFP, grant application, or internal project management file, offering a high-level overview without further descriptive details.
