Clause: 52.215-9003 Clause 52.215-9003 Use of Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) Information in Past Performance Evaluation will be included in subject solicitation Regarding the Experience/Past Performance Evaluation factor please reference Clause 52.215-9003 Use of Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) Information in Past Performance Evaluation. USE OF PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM - STATISTICAL REPORTING (PPIRS-SR) INFORMATION IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (APR 2014) (a) General. (1) Past performance is an indicator of a Contractor's ability to perform satisfactorily on future awards. (2) When used in best value source selections, past performance information will be evaluated based upon the currency and relevancy of past performance information in order to reach a confidence assessment for each offeror from which offers were received. (3) The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will evaluate offerors' past performance, which may include, but is not limited to, their record of conforming to specifications, conformance to the standards of good workmanship, adherence to contract schedules, and commitment to customer satisfaction. (b) Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR), authorized by the Department of Defense for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services may be used in evaluating contractor past performance. (c) PPIRS-SR classifications are established for each supplier and can be reviewed at http://www.ppirs.gov/. Contractors are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications. Offerors are encouraged to review their own classifications as well as the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and rating methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR procedures manual and the PPIRS-SR user guide available at http://www.ppirs.gov. (1) PPIRS-SR classifications. Specific information as to how PPIRS-SR determines delivery and quality classifications can be found in the PPIRS Reference Material, specifically the "PPIRS-SR Evaluation Criteria" document on the PPIRS-SR Website at http://www.ppirs.gov/ppirsfiles/reference.htm. (2) Classifications are calculated based upon three years of data. (3) Data sources for PPIRS-SR information can be found in the PPIRS Reference Material, "PPIRS-SR Evaluation Criteria" document on the PPIRS-SR Website at http://www.ppirs.gov/ppirsfiles/reference.htm. (4) PPIRS-SR will make negative quality and delivery data reflected in the PPIRS-SR Classification available to contractors for review and challenge. This is accomplished within the PPIRS-SR system. (d) The following procedures will be followed when the Contracting Officer evaluates PPIRS-SR classifications: (1) The Contracting Officer may consider the volume of business on which the classification is based as a measure of confidence in the classification as an indication of performance risk. (2) Specifics as to how PPIRS-SR calculations are affected when there is no delivery or quality information provided by the source data bases can be found in the PPIRS Reference Material, specifically the "PPIRS-SR Evaluation Criteria" document on the PPIRS-SR Website at http://www.ppirs.gov/ppirsfiles/reference.htm. (3) In the case of a Contractor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available in the PPIRS-SR, the Contractor will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance. (4) Contractor-caused discrepancies or delinquencies will be reflected in a contractor's past performance assessment. Repair, replacement or reimbursement of quality and packaging defects will not provide relief of negative DLA performance data. Contractor-caused delivery extensions, regardless of consideration paid, will be reflected in the delivery classification for contracts issued by DLA. (e) The Contracting Officer may collect and analyze other relevant information in addition to any past performance information derived from PPIRS-SR. (End of Provision) PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM - STATISTICAL REPORTING (PPIRS-SR) It is imperative that vendors validate their performance data in PPIRS-SR. Vendors must register at the PPIRS website https://www.ppirs.gov for access to view their past performance scores and negative delivery and quality records affecting the scores. The PPIRS-SR User's Manual provides information concerning vendor scoring, negative & positive performance data utilized to calculate vendor scores, and the process in which to challenge discrepant performance data. The PPIRS-SR User's Manual may be found at http://www.ppirs.gov/ppirsfiles/pdf/PPIRSSR_UserMan.pdf Questions concerning PPIRS-SR may be directed to the PPIRS Customer Support Desk at (207) 438-1690.
