(a)(2)(90) Past performance evaluation. The Air Logistics Centers, AFGLSC, and AFNWC shall use the Department of Defense Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR) for the collection of past performance information for spares acquisitions less than $5M. The PPIRS-SR web-based tool shall be used in the evaluation of past performance for all competitive spares acquisitions below $5M when past performance is an evaluation factor. Other sources of past performance information may be used in conjunction with PPIRS-SR. The PPIRS-SR Program may be used in conjunction with the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at the discretion of the contracting officer for competitive spares acquisitions equal to or greater than $5M. Contractors are assigned a color rating that depicts their past performance for quality and a numeric indicator that represents their on-time delivery performance. For an explanation of the PPIRS-SR Program and guidance on the PPIRS-SR process, see the Navy’s PPIRS website at: https://www.ppirs.gov/ppirs-sr/ppirssr.htm.
