Evaluation Criteria

The contractor must demonstrate performance that exceeds contract requirements in multiple areas, with evidence of innovation, cost savings to the government, early delivery, superior quality, or proactive problem resolution. Exceptional ratings require specific, documented examples of how performance went above and beyond what was contractually required.

Impact on Future Awards

An Exceptional rating is the strongest positive indicator in past performance evaluations for future contracts. Source selection evaluation boards view Exceptional ratings as evidence of a contractor that consistently delivers superior results. Multiple Exceptional ratings across different contracts can be a decisive discriminator in competitive procurements, particularly for best-value tradeoff source selections.

How to Achieve

Consistently exceed contract requirements in measurable ways — deliver early, under budget, or with higher quality than specified. Proactively identify and resolve issues before they become problems. Propose and implement innovations that benefit the government. Maintain open communication with the contracting officer and COR, and document all instances where performance exceeded requirements for inclusion in the CPARS narrative.
