CPARS ratings include: Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, and Unsatisfactory. Ratings cover quality, schedule, cost control, management, and small business subcontracting. Contractors can review and respond to assessments. Good CPARS ratings are among the most valuable assets in government contracting — they directly influence future award decisions. Bad ratings can effectively shut you out of new contracts.
After completing a 3-year IT support contract, the contracting officer enters a CPARS assessment rating the contractor Exceptional on quality and Very Good on schedule. These ratings appear when the contractor bids on future IT contracts.
