Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending the EPA Acquisition Regulation to revise its policy and procedures regarding the evaluation of contractor performance. This action is necessary because EPA's current regulation eliminates the use of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Contractor Performance System to record contractor performance histories for construction acquisitions. This revision will allow EPA contracting officers to utilize the NIH system for construction type acquisitions in lieu of the Federal Acquisition Regulation prescribed Standard Form 1420, Performance Evaluation (Construction Contracts). The NIH obtained approval from the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council regarding the use of its construction module in lieu of Standard Form 1420.
