This document outlines the Contract Administration Plan (CAP) for Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Contracts. It details the responsibilities of various government personnel involved in contract administration, including the Procuring Contract Office (PCO), Contract Administration Office (CAO), paying office, Ordering Officer, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), and Technical Assistant (TA).

This document is crucial for bidders to understand the roles and responsibilities of government personnel they will interact with during the contract lifecycle. It clarifies who is responsible for pre-award duties, post-award administration, technical interface, contract surveillance, invoice review, modifications, and reporting. Key points for bidders include:

• PCO: Handles pre-award, questions during pre-award, FOIA, changes to contract terms, and post-award conferences.
• Ordering Officer: Responsible for evaluating proposals for orders, determining fair and reasonable pricing, obligating funds, authorizing performance, approving subcontracts, and monitoring direct costs on orders.
• COR: Serves as the primary technical interface, monitors performance, reviews invoices, and is responsible for quality assurance and acceptance of services/deliverables. Crucially, the COR cannot issue contractual changes; only the PCO/CAO has this authority.

Understanding these roles helps bidders know who to contact for specific issues and what to expect regarding contract oversight and administration.

This document is a "Past Performance Report Form" to be completed by an agency/company. Its purpose is to allow the U.S. Naval Supply System (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (FLCN) to evaluate a contractor's past performance on previous contracts. This evaluation relates to the contractor's probability of successfully accomplishing the work required for an upcoming solicitation.

The form requests information about:

• The company being evaluated (Name, POC, Contract/PO No., Amount, Type, Period of Performance, Address, Phone).
• Details on the contractor's performance in areas such as:
  • Quality (Recruiting, Retention, Meeting Contract Requirements, Customer Satisfaction, Rework/Deficiency Reports, Innovative Applications).

  • Contractor's Cost Control (Performance at Agreed-to Price/Cost, Reasons for Contract Value Changes).
• Additional Observations/Information (Strengths/Weaknesses, Satisfaction with Award, Similar Efforts by Contractor, Other Contacts).

This form is crucial for bidders as it is used by the government to assess past performance, which is often a significant evaluation factor in contract awards. Bidders should understand that their past performance, as reported by previous contracting agencies, will be reviewed. The form itself is to be completed by a previous contracting agency, not the bidder responding to the current solicitation, and should not be returned to the contractor who originated the request.
