When evaluating Experience and Capability, the government will assess the contractor’s capability to perform the required work within the required period of performance. The government may use information contained in the quote/proposal or information known to or obtained by government representatives even if it is not included in the quote. Experience that is more relevant to this requirement (meaning experience directly related to the tasks to be performed, including cleaning and disinfecting services), is considered more valuable than experience that is less relevant.
