PPIRS
Past Performance Information Retrieval System
Definition
The Past Performance Information Retrieval System is a government database that collects and shares contractor past performance evaluations across federal agencies. PPIRS aggregates data from CPARS and other performance reporting systems to provide source selection officials with comprehensive performance histories.
PPIRS reports influence award decisions in negotiated procurements where past performance is an evaluation factor. Contractors should monitor their PPIRS records for accuracy and respond to negative evaluations through official comment periods. Strong past performance documented in PPIRS provides competitive advantage in best-value source selections.
