A federal general contractor with five hundred completed projects does not have a past-performance problem. It has a citation problem: which three of the five hundred go on the next bid, and whether every fact on them is still true today. The contract number and value the evaluator will check against the public award record. The CPARS rating that was or was not entered. The period of performance against the solicitation's window. The reference who still picks up the phone. Those facts live in four places, and they drift apart quietly.
This board reads the firm's own project record, the public award record and CPARS through access the firm issues, and marks every project citation-ready or not, and says exactly which fact is the reason. It writes nothing back.
The agencies used for grouping are the ones the firm names in public: Veterans Affairs, the Bureau of Prisons, the National Park Service, the Forest Service, and the Navy, which appears in the public award record. Every project, number, value, rating, date and reference below is sample data generated for this page. No real contract, person or firm project appears here.
Every past-performance citation is the same five facts. The board checks each one against the place it actually lives, and a project is ready only when all five hold.
Firm project record, checked against the public award record.
Public award record against the firm's final contract value. Evaluators check the public one.
Firm project record, checked against the recency window the solicitation sets.
CPARS. Entered, or never entered, for a completed contract.
Firm project record, with the date the person was last confirmed reachable.

This page runs on sample data. The production board reads the firm's own project record, the public award record, CPARS and the reference log, through access the firm issues and can take back. It does not write a proposal. It tells the person writing one which projects will hold up.
The board reads. It never writes to the project record, CPARS, or any agency system, and it never submits anything anywhere.
Access is limited to the projects in scope. For a pilot, that means one agency's completed projects and nothing outside them.
Revoke the access key and the board goes dark. Nothing to uninstall, and no data left behind that the firm did not already hold.
Small enough to run beside the next bid without touching it. Large enough to know, before the proposal is written, which citations will survive an evaluator's check.
Connect one agency's completed projects through read-only access. The board fills from what already exists, and every fact names the record it was read from.
A weekly read before each bid: which projects are ready, which reference to call this week, which CPARS to chase, which value the public record has wrong.
Keep it and add an agency, or switch it off. Either answer is a clean one, and the citation-ready count on day 90 against day 1 is the number that matters.
Great Breads Studio is a design and technology studio in Harlem, New York. The studio designs and engineers systems for founders, brands, and public-sector clients, and builds its own software products alongside brand, web, and editorial work.
The studio built this board. It also builds AsBuilt, a construction operating system, for a general contractor in New York, so it has seen a submittal log and a pay application from the inside. The board makes no judgment about a project's quality. It reports whether the five facts a citation needs are verified, and where they were read from.
