The Government may contact the entities listed herein to obtain past performance reviews of the quoters team.

Past performance is a measure of the degree to which the Quoter satisfied its customers in the past and complied with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The past performance of the quoter, key personnel (if applicable), and proposed subcontractors on projects similar in scope and complexity (i.e. relevant to the current project) will be evaluated in the areas of quality, timeliness, and business relations. It is especially important that the offeror disclose instances in which their past performance may be considered by others to be less than fully satisfactory. The offeror should tell their side of the story and describe remedial corrective action that has been taken or will be taken to correct the deficiency. Failure to do so may result in a determination that a quoter has been less than candid with the Government, which could result in an unfavorable assessment of the offeror’s past performance record.
