USE OF PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM - STATISTICAL REPORTING
(PPIRS-SR) IN PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION (AFMC) (SEP 2008)
(a) The offeror’s past performance shall be evaluated in accordance with AFMCFARS 5313.106-2(b)(4)(90) or 5315.305(a)(2)(90), as applicable. This procurement is subject to PPIRS-SR, authorized by the Department of Defense for use by participating activities during the acquisition of supplies and services. The quality and delivery classifications identified for an offeror in PPIRS-SR will be used in conjunction with the offeror’s references, the criteria in AFMCFARS 5313.106-2(b)(4)(90) or 5315.305(a)(2)(90) (as applicable), and other provisions of this solicitation during the evaluation of the past performance factor for offers received in response to this solicitation.
(b) The purpose of the PPIRS-SR Program is to provide contracting personnel with quantifiable past performance information regarding delivery and quality, as collected from existing DoD reporting systems, during the source selection process. PPIRS-SR uses the past performance data collection to classify each supplier’s performance by Federal Supply Class/Service Code (FSC).
(c) Quality: The method in PPIRS-SR to classify the quality of a supplier’s past performance is a comparison of quality records among all suppliers who have provided goods or services to the Federal Government which are categorized in the same Federal Supply Class (FSC). Based on the comparison among suppliers in a specific FSC group, suppliers are classified by PPIRS-SR into a color rating that represents the supplier’s overall quality performance for that specific FSC. The following is a summarization of the PPIRS-SR classification colors:
Dark Blue: Top 5% of suppliers in FSC group*
Purple: Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*
Green: Next 70% of suppliers in FSC group*
Yellow: Next 10% of suppliers in FSC group*
Red: Bottom 5% of suppliers in FSC group*
* If all supplier performance ratings for an entire FSC group are equal all suppliers in that group will be classified Green.
(d) Delivery: Supplier delivery past performance is classified in PPIRS-SR by the supplier’s percentage of on time deliveries. On time deliveries are calculated using the number of line items delivered and a weighting factor which reflects the length of time a delivery was overdue.
(e) PPIRS-SR classifications are established monthly for each supplier and can be reviewed at http://www.ppirs.gov. Suppliers are granted access to PPIRS-SR for their own classifications. Offerors are encouraged to review their own classifications as well as the PPIRS-SR reporting procedures and methodology detailed in the PPIRS-SR Procedures Manual and the PPIRS-SR User Guide available at http://www.ppirs.gov. The method to challenge a rating is also found on the identified website.
(f) Suppliers with no history in PPIRS-SR will be displayed to contracting officers without a rating.
