Since last November, contractors can access their past performance records in the Defense Department’s single reporting for contractors’ report cards – the Past Performance Automated Information System (PPAIS) at http://www.dodppais.navy.mil.   Many defense contractors with multiple business units have had trouble recovering reports for their individual segments because the Central Contractor Registration system usually does not identify corporate parents’ DUNS number.  DOD’s CCR Program Office in a letter by DOD Director of Acquisition Initiatives Donna Richbourg announced it has agreed to solve this problem by doing a single upload of corporate parent-child relationships into the CCR, after which the PPAIS will be changed to reflect these relationships.  Alternatively, subsidiaries may enter this information directly.  Instructions for adding parent company information into an active CCR file appears as an enclosure to the Richbourg letter at “http://www.acq.osd.mil/dp/newsarchive/news082101.htm.”
