    Attachment J.1 Past Performance Questionnaire.docx
    The document serves as a Past Performance Questionnaire for contractors working with the U.S. Government Publishing Office, aimed at assessing their performance on previous contracts. It includes sections for contractors to provide essential details such as contract information, project names, and key characteristics. Evaluators are prompted to rate contractors on various metrics, including quality of products and services, overall performance, adherence to schedule, technical capacity, cost control, subcontracting compliance, and customer satisfaction in both routine and unexpected situations. Additionally, evaluators must identify the contractor's strengths and weaknesses and note any prior work performed by the contractor. This tool is significant in the context of government RFPs, as it aids in source selection by providing structured feedback on contractor performance, ensuring a focus on quality and reliability for future projects. The questionnaire ultimately facilitates informed decision-making for future federal grants and contracts, promoting accountability and performance standards within government contracting.
