Description

Federal contractors have long viewed CPARS as a compliance exercise that occurs at the end of contract performance. That mindset is becoming increasingly dangerous. Recent changes to FAR Part 42.11 under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), combined with growing federal agency reliance on CPARS past performance data before, during and after solicitation source selections, are transforming CPARS from simply an administrative record into a strategic business asset—and a significant business risk when unmanaged.

In this webinar, CPARSradar will explain why CPARS Ratings Management must become a formal corporate discipline, much like cybersecurity, quality management, supply chain compliance. Attendees will learn how to implement proactive CPARS management tools and processes including contractor self-assessments, continuous performance monitoring and on-going engagement with Contracting Officers and CORs, to prevent CPARS surprises, improve CPARS evaluation and rating outcomes and protect future revenue streams. The session will also explore why "Satisfactory" ratings or below are increasingly becoming a competitive disadvantage in major procurements and what contractors can do today to improve their performance profile before the next CPARS evaluation is written.
