Past Performance Assessment Overall Ratings This rating is a Board determination based on a combination of presented project relevancy, VA risk determination, PIPERs, previous ratings, CPARS, inside VA and -side source information. Outstanding The Offeror s performance met contractual requirements and exceeded many requirements to the Client s benefit. The contractual performance was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror were highly effective. Excellent The Offeror s performance met contractual requirements and exceeded some requirements to the Client s benefit. The contractual performance was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror were effective. Acceptable The Offeror s performance met contractual requirements. The contractual performance contained some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror were satisfactory. Marginal Performance did not meet some contractual requirements. Performance indicated that there some potential risks associated with the quality of work, timeliness of service, and/or contract performance. DEFINITIONS Strength Strength means that part of a response that ultimately represents a benefit to the Government and is expected to increase the quality of the offeror s performance. Strengths are typically, but not limited to, high quality personnel, organizational experience, management, past performance, and/or technical capabilities that may allow the offeror to perform the work more cost effectively or provide enhanced performance. A strength may be either major or minor depending on the degree to which it will benefit the Government and/or increase the quality of the offeror s performance. All strengths noted in the final report will presumed to be minor strengths unless otherwise noted. Weakness Weakness means a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. It is that part of a response which detracts from the offeror s ability to meet the Government s requirements or results in inefficient or ineffective performance. Weaknesses are typically, but not limited to, less-than-average quality personnel, facilities, organizational experience, management, past performance, and/or technical capabilities that may cause the offeror to perform the work less cost effectively or not to meet requirements. A weakness may be either major or minor, depending on the degree to which it detracts from the offeror s ability to meet requirements and/or increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. All weaknesses noted in the final report will presumed to be minor weakness unless otherwise noted. Deficiencies Deficiency means any part of a response that fails to meet a material Government requirement as established in the solicitation (e.g., omission of data required to assess compliance with the evaluation factors; ambiguities that must be resolved before assessment of compliance can be made; or, an exception to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation), or a combination of major weaknesses in a proposal that increases risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.
