The NAVFAC/USACE Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) is designed to collect and evaluate contractor performance information for government contracts. Contractors must fill out various sections, including company details, contract specifics, and project descriptions. Clients, upon review, complete separate sections that assess the contractor's performance using defined adjective ratings ranging from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory across categories such as quality, schedule adherence, customer satisfaction, management, cost management, safety, and overall project response. The questionnaires are used to ensure that contractors meet quality and performance standards, which are essential for future government proposals. The completed forms are submitted by clients directly to the offeror or USACE, enabling a thorough evaluation of past performance to inform proposal assessments. The structured format promotes transparency and accountability in government contracting processes, integral for securing effective partnerships.
