                     CHAPTER 29--DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
Sec. 2942.1503  Procedures.

    (a) In accordance with FAR 42.1502, the contracting officer will 
prepare an interim evaluation of a contractor's performance at least 
annually for submission to the Past Performance Information Retrieval 
System (PPIRS), and specifically the Contractor Performance System 
maintained by the National Institutes of Health.
    (b) The contracting officer, or designee, must determine who will 
evaluate a contractor's performance. The contracting officer's technical 
representative, program manager, contract specialists or administrators, 
and users are candidates likely to be selected to perform the 
evaluation.
    (c) A contractor's performance evaluation should be obtained from a 
person who monitored contractor performance when that individual's 
assignment of duties or employment terminates before physical completion 
of the contract. The areas of performance to be selected for evaluation 
should be tailored to the type of supplies or services normally acquired 
by the contracting activities and the type of contract. HCAs must ensure 
uniformity of the evaluation criteria within their contracting 
activities.
    (d) Release of contractor performance evaluation information.
    (1) Requests for performance evaluation information from the public 
must be processed in accordance with FOIA, as implemented by DOL under 
29 CFR part 70.
    (2) Release of a contractor's performance evaluation information to 
other Federal agencies is subject to FAR 42.1502. When the performance 
evaluation information is released to other federal agencies, it should 
be provided with a written statement that it is nonpublic information 
that must be

processed under FOIA principles if a request for its disclosure is 
received.
    (e) Even though the retention period for past performance evaluation 
information is three years (see FAR 42.1503), the contractor's 
performance evaluation, any contractor rebuttal, and final decision 
become a part of the contract file. Therefore, disposal of the 
contractor's evaluation information must be accomplished in accordance 
with FAR 4.804.
