Factor 3 – Past Performance. The Government will evaluate the completion of the offeror’s past performance by reviewing the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2 – Past Performance Eval Survey) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS).

Confidence Rating Matrix - Rating / Description

Satisfactory (1): Any PPQ Ratings of Satisfactory, Good, and Exceptional will be rated as Satisfactory Confidence.

Unknown (0): Any PPQ Ratings of Neutral, or Contractor’s without any Past Performance references will be rates as Unknown Confidence.

Unsatisfactory (-1): Any PPQ Ratings of Marginal and Unsatisfactory will be rated as Unsatisfactory Confidence.

Offerors without a record of past performance, or for whom information is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and, as a result, will receive an “Unknown Confidence” rating.
