4.2  Finalize PCAG Internal Process.

The PCAG should use this time before receipt of the past performance volume to finalize the internal consensus process and data management process, formulate the PCAG computer generated documents, spreadsheets, and charts such as interview form, information data sheets, and evaluation notice (EN).  The PCAG should receive training from the ACE (if available).  The PCAG chairperson should decide how to divide the PCAG workload.  The number of proposals anticipated and number of PCAG members will influence the chairperson's division of workload.  Using consensus of the team is better than individuals doing the jobs separately.  The PCAG chairperson may assign each member an offeror(s) on which they will gather past performance information.  Regardless of how the PCAG chairperson assigns workload, the entire team should reach consensus on the PCAG ratings and if consensus cannot be reached, the PCAG documentation would include the minority opinion position on that particular rating. Each member should read the past performance volumes from all offerors and have input into the final PCAG assessments for each offeror.
