Small business offerors self-certified in SAM.gov will receive the maximum credit for this evaluation factor and do not need to submit any documentation supporting this evaluation factor. For all other offerors the Government will evaluate the following in no order of importance:

1. The extent of identification and participation of small and socio-economic business subcontractors in terms of the value of the total acquisition (total contract value)

2. The extent to which offerors met or exceed DOI subcontracting goals for small and socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses. Offerors that propose small or socio-economic Subcontractors that meet or exceed DOI’s prior year subcontracting goal will be evaluated favorably

3. The extent to which offerors demonstrate substantive commitment to small business firms, such as, letters of commitment, Joint Ventures, mentor/protégé agreements, or other demonstrations of commitment (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

4. Identification of the type and variety of the work small firms are to perform (i.e., binding commitments will become enforceable/contractual requirements)

5. The extent to which the offeror provides detailed explanations/documentation supporting the proposed quantitative participation

6. The extent to which the offeror complied with requirements of FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns

The Government will evaluate the proposal to determine which offeror proposes the best value in terms of Small Business Participation. Offers submitted by a small business prime offeror will also be evaluated and will receive the maximum score for this evaluation criteria

Factor 4: PAST PERFORMANCE Submit Past Performance information for the same projects submitted under Project Experience (Factor 3) using the attached Past Performance Questionnaire. Information may be regarding the offeror's firm and/or its proposed subcontractors performing key trades and other construction activities. Subcontractor past performance will only be considered if it correlates to the work the subcontractor will be performing on this requirement. If available, offerors may submit a Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) evaluation report in lieu of the Past Performance Questionnaire.

Factor 5: PAST PERFORMANCE (continued) Submittal process for the Past Performance Questionnaire is as follows:

Complete Sections I and II only of the attached Past Performance Questionnaire and forward to your client reference. The reference shall be someone who was substantially involved with the project and can provide a complete, objective assessment of your performance. Direct them to complete and submit the survey to the address and point of contact in paragraph B above by the due date and time for proposal receipt.

Submit copies of the questionnaire that you forwarded to your references with their point of contact information in this proposal Volume I.

Submit a narrative disclosing any instances of past performance that may be considered less than fully satisfactory. Describe pertinent facts, circumstances and any remedial action taken or to be taken to correct the deficiency. Failure to disclose such instances could result in an unfavorable assessment of the offeror's past performance record.

Factor 5: PAST PERFORMANCE (continued) Past performance demonstrating higher levels of success and quality on more relevant projects similar in scope and magnitude to this solicitation present lower levels of risk and will be more favorably rated. Projects that are more relevant to the requirements of this solicitation will be given more weight in the overall past performance rating. Project Experience ratings (Factor 3) will be considered in determining relevancy for projects submitted under this factor. If an offeror has no past performance on similar work relevant to this solicitation, they will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Subfactors are of equal importance. Past performance on contracts with the Federal Government, other public agencies, or private organizations will be considered. All submitted references may not be contacted. Sources other than submitted references may be contacted.

During proposal evaluations, exchanges between the Government and offerors may occur to clarify the relevance of past performance information and/or address adverse past performance information which an offeror has not yet had an opportunity to respond to.
