Contracting Officer’s. Contracting Officers (or designated Contract Specialists) are responsible for reviewing evaluation information submitted by the CORs into CPARS, forwarding evaluations to the contractor, and reviewing the evaluation for accuracy before it is finalized in CPARS. The requirement to complete past performance evaluations shall be identified in the COR delegation letter. The Contracting Officer or his designee is designated as the Assessing Official in CPARS. The Assessing Official (Contracting Officer) and Assessing Official Representative (COR) will receive a system generated email to initiate evaluations for contracts 90 days prior to the exercise of options (12-month period) or, for contracts without options, 90 days prior to the end of the period of performance. Coordination will be required outside of CPARS for reminders to initiate an evaluation in CPARS for option periods that are less than 12 months. Once the Assessing Official Representative/COR has completed the evaluation, the Assessing Official will review the evaluation and forward the evaluation to the contractor representative. Only the Assessing Official has the authority to forward assessments to the contractor representative for review and comment. Once the contractor evaluation phase is completed, and any comments resolved, the evaluation should be saved and finalized by the Assessing Official. A hardcopy shall be placed in the contract file.
