SUMMARY:Acquisition Hour: Overview of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)
DESCRIPTION:Past Performance will impact future contract awards. \nAs a Federal Contractor it is critical for you to understand the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)\, which collects and maintains Contractor’s Past Performance Information. Past performance is now included in the selection criteria in Government contracts. It is essential for the Contractor to review the comments and ratings for timeliness and accuracy. Contractors should be aware that there may be an opportunity to modify results with the assessing official and possibly shape the performance evaluation. \nUnderstanding the process and management of your CPARS record will support a stronger past performance evaluation of your next bid or proposal. \nSpeakers: \n\nMark Dennis\, Government Contract Specialist – Wisconsin Procurement Institute (WPI) – WI APEX Accelerator\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nView a schedule of all upcoming Acquisition Hour webinars.
