PAST PERFORMANCE

Submit a list of relevant prior work the contractor has performed within the past six (6) years along with contact information so the government may contact prior customers to evaluate past performance. If you will be utilizing subcontractor(s), provide the same information as noted above.

Information should include the project name, location, description of the work, dollar value and name/phone/email of project owner representative. Attachment 18 to this solicitation is a Past Performance Form that is optional for use.

The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:

Neutral: Quoter does not have a past performance record.

Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

EVALUATION METHOD:

All quotations will be evaluated to identify the quoter presenting the most technically advantageous solution based on the stated evaluation criteria. Once the highest technically rated quoter is identified, their price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable.

1. Past performance is assessed as acceptable or neutral, and

2. The proposed price is fair and reasonable.

Award will not necessarily be made to the lowest-priced quoter. Tradeoffs will not be conducted.
