at or above $100,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a
performance report using the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), which is
now a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the
contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30
days. Accessing and using CCASS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is
installed on the user’s computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was
implemented to provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost
approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate
Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for
contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.navy.mil/. If the Contractor
wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CCASS and PKI certification is
the sole responsibility of the Contractor.
