CPAM

A Contract Performance Assessment Manual provides guidance and procedures for conducting contractor performance assessments and documenting results in CPARS or other evaluation systems. CPAMs establish standards, rating criteria, and processes for consistent performance evaluation.

Understanding CPAM guidance helps contractors anticipate evaluation criteria and demonstrate performance effectively. CPAMs specify rating definitions, assessment timelines, and contractor response procedures. Familiarity with CPAM requirements supports proactive performance management and effective responses to assessment findings.
