Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS)

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

CPARS is used by the Navy, USMC, Air Force, DLA and other defense agencies.

CPARS is a web-enabled application that collects and manages the library of automated CPARs. CPARS is for UNCLASSIFIED use only. Classified information is not to be entered into this system. A CPAR assesses a contractor`s performance and provides a record, both positive and negative, on a given contract during a specific period of time. Each assessment is based on objective facts and supported by program and contract management data, such as cost performance reports, customer comments, quality reviews, technical interchange meetings, financial solvency assessments, construction/production management reviews, contractor operations reviews, functional performance evaluations, and earned contract incentives.


Past Performance Information Management System (PPIMS)

The Past Performance Information Management System (PPIMS) is the Army's central repository for the collection and utilization of Army-wide contractor Past Performance Information (PPI). Available to authorized Government personnel, PPIMS is used to support both the Contracting Performance Review process and future award decisions. PPIMS is also used to by Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to collect DISA contractor's past performance information.
