The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is a comprehensive government form used to evaluate contractor performance for federal, state, and local RFPs and grants. It requires contractors to detail their firm's information, contract specifics, and project descriptions, including complexity and relevance to future submissions. Clients then assess the contractor's performance across key areas like quality, schedule, customer satisfaction, management, cost/financial management, and safety/security using defined adjective ratings (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable). The PPQ aims to gather objective feedback, identify strengths and weaknesses, and assess performance risk, culminating in an overall rating and narrative remarks from the client.
