The assessment will be based on the following criteria: • Timeliness of Deliveries: The Quoter must demonstrate a consistent record of on-time deliveries. Documented instances of late deliveries, including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations and communications with other Contracting Officers, will be reviewed. A history of substantial delivery delays will result in a "No-Go" determination. • Order Accuracy and Completeness: The Quoter must show a track record of delivering complete and accurate orders. Evidence of recurring issues such as missing or incorrect items—supported by customer complaints, re-turns, or input from other Contracting Officers—will be considered.
