Overview
FAR 36.201 serves as a regulatory cross-reference, directing agencies to the specific requirements for preparing and recording past performance evaluations for construction contracts.
Key Rules
- Cross-Reference: Explicitly points to FAR 42.1502(e) for the governing rules on past performance.
- Scope: Limits the scope of this section specifically to construction-related performance evaluations.
- Regulatory Integration: Ensures that construction contract oversight aligns with the broader past performance policies established in FAR Part 42.
Practical Implications
- Contracting Officers must look to FAR Part 42 to find specific dollar thresholds (currently $750,000) and reporting procedures for construction projects.
- Contractors should recognize that their performance on construction jobs will be documented in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and used as a primary factor in future source selections.
