In the Instructions to Offerors portion of our request for proposals, we request that this letter and the Past Performance Questionnaire be forwarded to points of contact for similar type services performed by the offeror, or currently in progress. The information contained in your completed questionnaire will be one of the evaluation criteria to base a decision about the relative qualifications of the offeror.
Please have the questionnaire completed by the person(s) most familiar with the contractor’s performance on the subject contract. Evaluations should reflect an honest, straightforward, and objective evaluation of the contractor’s performance. Evaluations must be based on objective facts supported by program/project and contract management data and reports.
Your knowledge is crucial to our evaluation of the company’s past performance, and we request that you provide responses to all questions. A simple “unknown” answer may be appropriate when no evidence is available to you in a particular area. We ask that you indicate based on the definitions provided in the questionnaire, the contractor’s performance on the identified contract. Please provide narrative rationales for your answers that are marked other than acceptable or areas where the contractor clearly exceeded contract requirements.
