Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Table 2 Technical Ratings

SECTION II - PAST PERFORMANCE:

a. Using the Past Performance Questionnaires, the CO shall seek relevant past performance information on Elevator Load Safety Tests based on: (1) the references provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Relevant past performance includes performance of efforts involving Elevator Load Safety Tests that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity to the effort described in this solicitation. The government reserves the right to seek information on higher priced offerors if none of the lower priced offerors receive a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment rating. The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in the solicitation, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance.
