Contractor Access to Past Performance Automated Information System Records - PPAIS - Brief Article

Program Manager, July-August, 2001

DOD is responding to industry needs regarding corporate access to all of a company's past performance records. In a recent memorandum to industry associations, DoD announced that they are making a modification to the Contractor Central Registration (CCR) system. As a result, large companies will have an opportunity to have parent-child relationships loaded into CCR, thereby enabling those companies to access past performance reports for all their business units.

DoD has over 12,450 past performance report cards collected covering $406 billion in contracts in PPAIS. As of Nov. 1, 2000, industry and vendors were able to access individual reports of their past performance records. This expanded company-wide access is expected to be welcomed by larger companies.
