I'm looking for clarity on when CPARS past performance evaluations are required for federal contracts. My firm is a prime contractor for office products and services under NAICS 453210, and we hold a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. We recently completed a small order, well under the simplified acquisition threshold, and I'm trying to determine if it will receive a CPARS evaluation. I thought CPARS applied to all federal contracts, but I've heard there are thresholds. What are the specific dollar thresholds for CPARS evaluations on federal contracts and orders? How often are these evaluations conducted?

CPARS past performance evaluations are required for contracts and orders that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, with specific requirements for construction and architect-engineer services. Agencies must prepare CPARS evaluations for each contract and each order that exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold. These evaluations are conducted at least annually and again at the completion of the work, as stated in FAR 42.1502(a) and (b). For construction contracts, CPARS evaluations are required for those that are $900,000 or more. Architect-engineer services contracts of $45,000 or more also require CPARS evaluations, per FAR 42.1502(e) and (f). State and local government contracts follow their own procurement codes and specific portal vendor guides, which may have different thresholds.
