(i)  Class Deviation 99-0002, 29 Jan 99 (Subj: Class Deviation--Past Performance) is effective until further notice. The deviation identifies thresholds associated with key business sectors for the collection and use of Past Performance Information (PPI). The deviation may be accessed at http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/classdev/deviations/99o0002.pdf.

(iii)  DISA normally comes under the Services and Information Technology business sectors. Past performance information shall be evaluated in all source selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions $1,000,000 or greater unless the contracting officer documents the reason past performance is not an appropriate evaluation factor for the acquisition.

(d)  Clearly state in the solicitation, the approach the Government will use to evaluate the contractor's past performance. For additional guidance, see references listed in DARS Subsection 15.305(S-90).

(S-90) Although FAR Subpart 15.304 requires evaluation of past performance in all source selections for negotiated competitive acquisitions expected to exceed $1,000,000 with limited exceptions, Contracting Officers are encouraged to evaluate past performance in all source selections regardless of the dollar threshold.
