• Basis for Performance Analysis
• Metrics for Post Award Administration
• Evaluating Contract Performance
• Visualizing Contract Performance
• Limitation of Funds
• Limitation of Cost
• Performance Analysis Conclusions

3. Basis for Performance Analysis
Performance Acquisition Management (PAM)
• Dumbed-down Version of Earned Value
Management (Targeting Contracts Under $50M)
• Post Award Administration: Integration of Schedule,
Cost, & Performance
• Past Performance Evaluation Factors for Omnibus 4

4. Metrics for Post Award Administration
Cost (algorithmic)
The value of the contract (projected cost) and actual
cost of performance (invoicing)
Schedule (algorithmic)
Performance relative to funding levels and the
contract period of performance
Performance (heuristic)
Achievement of milestones (deliverables) relative to
contract cost and schedule

5. Evaluating Contract Performance
Baseline
The intended or projected course of a contract relative
to cost, schedule, and performance
Execution
The actual progress of the contract relative to the
baseline
Forecast
Evaluation of execution, in relation to the baseline, and
identification of anomalies/deviations that may arise
Action
Relative to forecasting, develop risk mitigation
strategies to (1) realign execution with the baseline or
(2) re-baseline to accommodate execution
