    The Past Performance Questionnaire is designed for contractors to evaluate their performance on specific government contracts. Contractors are required to fill out initial sections, providing crucial information about their business and the contract in question, including contract details, scope, complexity, and client references. The document includes a rating scale for client references to assess the contractor's performance based on quality, schedule adherence, cost control, management effectiveness, regulatory compliance, and overall customer satisfaction. Ratings range from Exceeds (E) to Unsatisfactory (U), allowing clients to provide structured feedback. Furthermore, client references must outline their role, sign the document, and indicate if they would work with the contractor again. This questionnaire acts as a tool for the government to verify contractor credentials and past performance, ultimately guiding decisions on future contract opportunities and ensuring accountability within federal and local procurement processes. The structured feedback is pertinent to evaluating potential contractors for future solicitations, thereby influencing government contracting decisions.
