L08 Use of Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) in Past Performance Evaluations (APR 2018)

•(1)   The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) (https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil) (formerly Past Performance Information Retrieval System - Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR)) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers' past performance.

•(2)   SPRS collects quality and delivery data on previously awarded contracts and orders from existing Department of Defense reporting systems to classify each supplier's performance history by Federal supply class (FSC) and product or service code (PSC). The SPRS application provides the contracting officer quantifiable past performance information regarding a supplier's quality and delivery performance for the FSC and PSC of the supplies being purchased.

•(3)   The quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in SPRS will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier's past performance in conjunction with the supplier's references (if requested). The Government will use this past performance information in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation.

(4) SPRS classifications are generated daily, Monday through Friday, for each contractor and can be reviewed by following the access instructions in the User's Manual found at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf/PPIRS-SR_UserMan.pdf. Contractors are granted access to SPRS for their own classifications only. Suppliers are encouraged to review their own classifications, the SPRS reporting procedures and classification methodology detailed in the User's Manual, and SPRS Evaluation Criteria available from the references at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf/SPRS_DataEvaluationCriteria.pdf. The method to challenge a rating generated by SPRS is provided in the User's Manual.
