Acquisition Regulation: Contractor Performance Evaluations

The Environmental Protection Agency is revising its EPA Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 15) concerning contractor performance evaluations to clarify that contractor performance evaluations will be completed after each 12 month period from the effective date of contract. The final rule dated April 26, 1999 (64 FR 20201) indicated that contractor performance evaluations will be completed each 12 months after contract award. Because an EPA contract award date may commence prior to the contract effective date, EPA's regulation will be technically amended to reflect that contractor performance evaluations will be completed each 12 months after the effective date of contract.
