Past Performance Organizer

Past performance is usually the heaviest non-price evaluation factor, and most small firms lose points not because their history is weak but because it is undocumented and inconsistently described across bids.

What it does: Turn scattered contract history into reusable, evaluator-ready references.
What you need: Contract numbers, values, periods of performance, scope summaries, CPARS ratings
What you get: A structured past performance library with relevance mapping
Cost: Free

Key takeaways

Built for federal bidders, not generic business planning.
Use the output as a starting point, then validate against the actual solicitation.
Save results into your Company Brain so future drafts reuse them automatically.
Works alongside RFP Scribe's $2 single-draft option for a full first response.

How it works

Record each contract once with customer, contract number, value, period of performance, scope, staffing, outcomes, CPARS rating, and reference contact. The organizer then maps each entry against a target opportunity on size, scope, and complexity so you pick the strongest three.

Why it matters

Evaluators score relevance, not volume. Three tightly matched references beat eight loosely related ones, and consistent contract data across volumes prevents the discrepancies that erode evaluator confidence.

Tips for better results

Capture data at contract closeout while it is fresh, keep reference contacts current, and quantify outcomes with numbers — on-time percentage, cost variance, defect rates — instead of adjectives.
