Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)
CPARS is the federal system where agencies record formal evaluations of a contractor's performance on a contract, which later source selections read as past performance evidence.
Past performance
Past performance is the record of how well a firm performed on recent, relevant contracts, used as an evaluation factor in most negotiated federal buys and as a reference check in state and local work.
Capability statement
A capability statement is a one- or two-page document that tells a government buyer what you do, your core competencies, differentiators, past performance, certifications and the identifiers they need (UEI, CAGE, NAICS).
Best value tradeoff
Best value tradeoff is the source selection method in which the agency may pay more than the lowest price for a proposal whose technical merit or past performance justifies it. Lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) is the other end of the same scale: among acceptable proposals, the lowest price wins.
