These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts.

4.1.1 While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror’s responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance.

4.2 The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

4.3 The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractors’s Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government’s review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and concise manner.

4.3.1 Failure to provide the information requested below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of Recent and Relevant past performance.

4.3.2 Recent contracts are those performed within three years of the date of issuance of this solicitation.

4.3.3 Relevant contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the Purchase Description (PD) requirements.

4.4.3 Provide a brief self-assessment of contract performance.

4.4.4 If the proposed Contract was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. IDIQ, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed contract are further defined within the terms and conditions (e.g.

statement of work) of that related instrument, provide that information and any other information necessary to establish this instrument’s relationship to the proposed contract. (These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments with the proposal).

4.4.5 The offeror may also be evaluated on other internal Government or private source information.

The Government may utilize Contract Performance and Rating System (CPARS) to search for recent and relevant offeror performance and ratings.

4.5 The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent past performance information to determine how closely the products provided in those contracts relate to the management and technical requirement(s). Consideration will be given to similar complexity of the effort, breadth and depth of skills, similar contract scope and type, and schedule.
