In July 2002, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) became the single, authorized application providing past performance reports to the entire Federal acquisition community as a part of the President's e-Government Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative. Furthering this initiative, the PPIRS Program has expanded the functionality of the current PPIRS program.The new function, PPIRS-Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR), will collect contractor quality and delivery

performance data on contracts under the threshold established in th existing PPIRS report card function.

PPIRS-SR is a web source selection tool. The objective of PPIR-SR is to collect quantifiable delivery and quality information from existing systems and use that data to classify each supplier's performance by Federal Supply Class or Service (FSC). Contractors will be assigned a color that depicts their past performance for quality and receive a numeric indicator that represents their on-time delivery performance. Source selection officials will consider this information during the contract award process.

Contractors will be notified of all contracts that will be utilizing the PPIRS-SR application. Contractors are granted access to PPIRS-SR to view their current and pending classifications, using the same user id and password to access PPIRS. Pending classifications, will be held in a review status for 30 days to allow for contractor review. The application allows contactors to challenge any quality/delivery performance record.
