SOLICITATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Solicitation No.: 1131PL-17-R-SA41064 Project Title: Project Finance Training

1. Re: the “Past Performance Questionnaire”. First, it looks like the questionnaire needs to be filled out by a previous client, is that correct?

Response: Yes, this is correct.

Next, if confidentiality clauses precludes [us] from asking [our] clients to fill this out, will this automatically dismiss [our firm] from being able to win this RFP?

Response: No. Additional language has been added to page 4 of the attached Combined Synopsis/Solicitation (changes tracked) to clarify how Past Performance will be evaluated. In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), in the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (FAR 15.305(a)(2)). The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any available source, to include the U.S. Government’s Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), and may contact customers other than those identified by the Offeror when evaluating past performance.
