The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data and general trends in contractor performance. The Government shall consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the offeror’s past performance.

Factor 2. Experience The Government will assess the specialized experience and skill of the firm with a focus on experience that is relevant to the specified project.

Factor 3. Technical Approach to Performing the Work When evaluating the Technical Approach to Performing the Work, the government will assess the reasonableness of the contractor’s proposed approach to performing the work including the use of biobased products in project implementation.

All call orders will incorporate these changes by reference at award.

Disclaimer: System updates may lag policy updates.

Contracting officers will not consider these representations when making award decisions or enforce requirements. Entities are not required to, nor are they able to, update their entity registration to remove these representations in SAM.

In addition to removing requirements related to Executive Order 14057, the attachment also reflects recent updates to Code of Federal Regulation citations for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program, a statutory purchasing preference program.
