Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS):

To qualify to perform any work for the US Government, Department of Defense, or federal agencies, a small business must be registered in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). It is important for businesses to ensure that their information in SAM and SPRS is accurate and up-to-date to maximize their chances of being selected for government contracts.

The process of getting registered in SPRS requires a number of pre-requisite activates, and a comprehensive NIST 800-171 assessment. Here is a summary of the steps to register in SPRS:

1.      Obtain a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number.

2.      Register in the System for Award Management (SAM).

3.      Create an account in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

4.      Submit a Past Performance Questionnaire, for each contract a business has performed on in the past three years. 

5.      Request a Supplier Performance Risk Rating (SPR). Note, te SPR is a rating that is based on the past performance questionnaire and other data collected in SPRS.

Additionally, businesses should regularly monitor their SPR to identify areas for improvement and work to address any issues that are identified.
