PCAG Past Performance Evaluation Definitions

SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.  

SATISFACTORYCONFIDENCE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has an expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.  Normal contractor emphasis should preclude any problems.

LIMITED CONFIDENCE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

NO CONFIDENCE - Based on the offeror's performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE - No performance record is identifiable (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii) and (iv) or the offeror's performance record is so sparse that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
