The purpose of PPIRS is to assist federal acquisition officials in purchasing
goods and services that represent the best value for the Government. From the
PPIRS FAQ: “PPIRS is a shared data warehouse of report cards that detail a vendor’s
record of performance on current (or completed) contracts.”
Past Performance Reports are required for products or services over $100,000
for the Department of Defense (DOD). Service and Information Technology (IT)
reports are required if the total dollar value of any one contract totals $1,000,000
(DOD). Finally, System or Operation Support reports are required if the total dollar
value of any one contract exceeds $5,000,000 (DOD).
Vendors are encouraged to update their past performance profile through the
Central Contractor Registration process at www.ccr.gov. A vendor’s DUNS number
and Transaction Partner Identification Number (TPIN) are
needed to access PPIRS.
Note that not all of the 125 federal agencies are
enrolled in the system. Some agencies use procedures not yet
in an automated system (i.e. paper forms).
