One source of information relating to contractor performance is the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), available at www.ppirs.gov. Information relating to contract terminations for cause and for default is also available through PPIRS (see subpart 42.15). This termination information is just one consideration in determining contractor responsibility.
