            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                     CHAPTER 29--DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
Sec. 2942.1502  Policy.

    DOL contracting officers are required to use or interface with the 
Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), and specifically 
the National Institutes of Health's Contractor Performance System. The 
HCA is responsible for ensuring that a contractor performance evaluation 
system is generated to meet the requirements of FAR subpart 42.15, 
including compliance with subcontracting plans. Contracts, task orders, 
and delivery orders, exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, 
should be formally evaluated in writing. Interim evaluations should be 
performed on contracts exceeding one year in duration. This will assist 
contractors with improving marginal performance and identifying any 
major deficiencies. It will also facilitate performance evaluations at 
contract completion, as well as determining whether to exercise contract 
options, if any.
