Standard Rating Guidelines
Qualiy of Product or Service
0 = Unsatisfactory 1 = Poor 2 = Fair 3 = Good 4 = Excellent 5 = Outstanding

Non-conformances are jeopardizing the achievement of contract requirements, despite use of Agency resources. Recovery is not likely. If performance cannot be substantially corrected, it constitutes a significant impediment in consideration for future awards containing similar requirements.
|
Poor |
Overall compliance requires significant Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.
|
Fair |
Overall compliance requires minor Agency resources to ensure achievement of contract requirements.
|
Good |
There are no, or very minimal, quality problems, and the Contractor has met the contract requirements.
|
Excellent |
There are no quality issues, and the Contractor has substantially exceeded the contract performance requirements without commensurate additional costs to the Government.
|
Outstanding |
The contractor has demonstrated an outstanding performance level that was significantly in excess of anticipated achievements and is commendable as an example for others, so that it justifies adding a point to the score. It is expected that this rating will be used in those rare circumstances where contractor performance clearly exceeds the performance levels described as "Excellent".
