CSA: Improve Past-Performance Evaluations Members of the Contract Services Association say their top issue for 2004 is standardizing the past performance evaluation process. “CSA supports the use of past performance as an evaluation factor used during the source selection process. However, despite the fact that rating past performance has been in use for years, certain inconsistencies in its application, as well as questions regarding the ultimate confidentiality of such information, continue to exist,” the organization said in a statement. Its second priority issue is continued opposition to SBA’s proposal to require annual recertification by small businesses. The proposed rule has been pending since last summer, but has drawn considerable opposition both within and outside the government.
