Per the solicitation: Offerors must include a completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications – Commercial Items, with their quotes. The offeror shall complete only paragraphs (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) website accessed through http://www.sam.gov. If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (p) of this provision.

Therefore, if you are not sure if you have completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, please complete paragraphs (c) through (p) of the provision.

Should the full text provisions be included, initialed and signed with me agreeing to them? Example: FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Items has no form fields but is referenced in the solicitation.
Submission of an offer and signature on SF-30’s constitutes your acceptance of all clauses and provisions regardless of whether they are incorporated in full or by reference. It is your responsibility to ensure you are familiar with all clauses contained herein, both in full and by reference.

Do you want me to collect the past performance surveys and email them to you or have past customers email them directly?

Either way is acceptable.
