The Reference Check Form assesses vendor performance through a ten-point satisfaction scale and yes/no questions regarding product or service delivery and likelihood of future engagement. Responses evaluate the vendor's overall performance history and capability to perform under the proposed contract. The form requires submission from the reference company's official email account to ensure authenticity and verification of the vendor's claimed performance. No pricing terms, set-asides, or incumbent information is included in this reference check document, as it serves solely as a vendor qualification and evaluation tool prior to proposal award.
