Comparison of Past Performance Practices between the Department of the Navy and Commercial Industry
Abstract
Since the passage of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, all Federal Departments and Agencies have initiated procedures to use past contractor performance information in source selections and to record contractor performance on in-process contracts. Past performance information is intended to aid the government in determining "best value" contractors and to provide a monitoring process that encourages contractors to perform at their best. This thesis investigates the use of past performance information in the Federal acquisition process by looking at the Navy's mandatory requirements for gathering past performance information and reviewing the current policies and practices for the collection and use of past performance information within two Department of the Navy buying commands, It then reviews the current practices of collection and use of past performance information within four finds in commercial industry, identifying any similar standards or guidance. The practices of the two buying commands" are compared with the practices of the four commercial firms.
