The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is a critical evaluation tool used in government contracting to assess a contractor's past performance on projects. The document is structured into two primary sections: contractor information and client information. Contractors fill out sections that include firm details, work performed, contract specifics, and project descriptions, while clients provide their insights on the contractor's performance.
The performance is evaluated through adjectival ratings ranging from Exceptional (E) to Unsatisfactory (U) across various dimensions such as quality, timeliness, customer satisfaction, management, cost management, safety, and general compliance with contractual obligations. Each category contains specific criteria for rating the contractor's work, including problem resolution, adherence to schedules, and ability to manage resources effectively.
The overall intention of the PPQ is to collect comprehensive feedback that can inform future contract decisions. This evaluation framework underscores the importance of performance history in securing government contracts and ensuring accountability, facilitating improved oversight and operational efficiency in federal and state/local RFP processes.
