    The Past Performance Questionnaire is a critical document used in federal contract awards to evaluate an offeror's past and current performance over the last three years. It is divided into two parts: background information to be completed by the offeror, detailing contract specifics such as customer, contract number, period, value, and services performed; and a comprehensive past performance evaluation section to be completed by the entity that received the services. This evaluation uses an adjectival rating scale (Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, Unacceptable, N/A) to assess various performance tasks across categories like quality of service, recruitment/retention, timeliness/schedule, business relationships, and customer satisfaction. Explanations are required for 'Outstanding,' 'Marginal,' or 'Unsatisfactory' ratings. Additionally, the questionnaire asks if the firm would be awarded another contract, if the contract was terminated for default, or if the contractor received any cure notices, with explanations required for 'No' or 'Yes' responses respectively. This ensures a thorough and factual assessment for informed federal contracting decisions.
