The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), designated N6883625R0004, is part of the contractor evaluation process within federal contracting. Responses to the questionnaire are due by February 6, 2025, and it is considered source selection sensitive information. The document comprises sections for contract identification, customer agency details, evaluator specifics, and a performance evaluation based on multiple criteria. Contractors are assessed on their management capabilities, problem-solving skills, adherence to quality control, timely deliverables, and financial responsibility. Evaluators grade the contractor's performance and provide comments on ratings categorized from exceptional to unsatisfactory. Additionally, a narrative summary is requested to elaborate on performance details, especially for any noted deficiencies. The questionnaire includes inquiries related to the contractor's responsiveness to changes, project supervision, and overall satisfaction measured against small business goals. The intent of the PPQ is to ensure thorough evaluation of a contractor's past performance to inform future federal procurement decisions.
