The Government may utilize previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation. The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification and additional information. The Government’s inability to contact any of the offeror’s references or the reference’s unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government’s evaluation of this factor. Offerors may also include performance recognition documents from work of similar size, scope and complexity as that of the RFP received within the last five (5) years preceding the release of the solicitation, such as awards, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition. For performance recognition documents to be considered under this factor, they shall be dated and contain the signature and position of the individual signing. Further, performance recognition documents solicited, especially for the purposes of this factor may be considered less favorably than documents contemporaneously received for the work performed. Offerors may provide any information regarding problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on contracts submitted under Factor 1 - Corporate Experience and may address any adverse performance issues. Offerors shall provide information on other relevant contracts not submitted under Factor 1 that resulted in a final adverse performance rating. Explanations per contract shall not exceed two (2) double-sided pages (or four (4) single-sided pages) in total. These explanatory pages do not count against the page limit. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. The Past Performance submittal shall be limited to no more than ten (10) pages, not including the PPQs, CPARS forms, or explanatory pages. (ii) Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate how well the Offeror performed on the recent and relevant contracts submitted under Factor1 - Corporate Experience and on other recent and relevant contracts documented in known sources. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved tough the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. The Government will consider the recency and relevance of the information, how well the offeror performed on the contract(s) and general trends in the offeror’s performance (such as a pattern of successful completion of tasks, and a pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc)) to assess the offeror’s probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will assign one performance confidence assessment rating for this factor. Offerors lacking recent and relevant past experience history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably in past performance and will receive an Unknown Confidence assessment. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1-3) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined are approximately equal to price. The importance of price will increase if the offerors’ non-price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.
