Rating Criteria: Excellent/Good/Acceptable/Poor/Neutral Risk Criteria: Unknown Risk/Low Risk (LR)/Moderate Risk (MR)/High Risk (HR)

This factor considers the past performance of the Offeror, and will be evaluated as part of the responsibility determination. The Past Performance will be evaluated based on the degree to which the Offeror’s:

* The Offeror shall provide one (1) completed Past Performance questionnaire prepared by the Owner/Owner Representative for each project submitted in Factor 1.

* Past Performance references shall demonstrate satisfactory performance on projects submitted in Factor 1. More satisfactory performances will be considered more favorably. The Offeror must provide a current reliable point of contacts (a person or persons who may be contacted regarding the quality of the Offeror’s past performance) for each referenced project. Each point of contact identified shall have detailed information listing their name, title, company name, current address, active/current phone number, and current email address for each reference.

o The Offeror must submit Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ), completed by the applicable client (Government or Commercial), for each project included in its offer for Factor 1 - Experience on Similar Projects (four (4) past performance questionnaires submissions are required). The Past Performance Questionnaire submissions shall reflect the reference requirements found in Factor 1. Completed PPQs should be submitted with the Offer. Ensure correct contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses, are provided for the client point of contact. Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires.

If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project before the offer closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the offer the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the project. If the client requests, the client may submit a questionnaire directly to the Government's point of contacts, to Jayshree Tank via e-mail at jayshree.tank@gsa.gov prior to the offer submission closing date and time. Offerors may resubmit questionnaires previously submitted with other offers or may obtain an updated/new PPQ from a client for any submission. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their offer PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. The Offeror will be evaluated on the type and description of references and the Offeror’s performance under these references. To receive consideration for award, the Offeror must provide the requested reference types and the returned questionnaires must indicate at least “satisfactory” performance in all of the questionnaire criteria reflecting that the Offeror consistently exceeded performance standards with regard to services related to this acquisition, ensuring that they met contract terms without failure or were able to resolve issues immediately.

* In addition to the above, the Government may contact the references provided and/or review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. The Government will expend only a reasonable amount of time and effort to contact those submitted as references (please ensure that current e-mail addresses and contact information is provided for each reference). Other sources of Past Performance may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/ subsidiary / affiliate) identified in the Offeror's submission, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), previously submitted PPQ information, and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from a variety of sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete Past Performance information rests with the Offeror. GSA will not maintain a database of PPQs submitted by Offerors.

* The Government will evaluate the proposed Past Performance in terms of its reduction of risk with respect to successful performance.

* If the Offeror has no relevant past performance history, it must affirmatively state so in the offer. The Offeror that states they have no relevant past performance history and the Offeror that is unable to provide past performance references/reports after making all reasonable efforts will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably under the criteria and will receive a “neutral” rating, in accordance with FAR 15.305.
