Subfactor #1 - Ability of Item to Meet Required Specifications - In order to receive a rating of "acceptable" for this subfactor, quote must at a minimum, demonstrate item specifications that meet or exceed the required item specifications. Provide specifications that meet or exceed those provided in the Statement of Work.

Special consideration shall be given to the following points:

Finished weights, trailer maneuverability, ease of operation, maximizing useable storage space, accessibility to the various units which require periodic maintenance operations and symmetrical design proportions.

Factor 2: Past Performance:

1. Subfactor #1 - Recency and relevancy of present/past performance in relation to this effort - In order to receive a rating of "acceptable" for this subfactor, quoter must, at a minimum provide past experience on similar type contract(s). The past experience should indicate successes of the contractor in completing /meeting delivery dates and customer satisfaction. The Government considers "recent" present/past performance to be within the past 3 years. The Government considers "relevant" present/past performance to be present/past performance effort involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the quoter.
