The narrative clearly defines the offeror’s understanding of the project and demonstrates ability to meet the construction period of performances as described in the RFP Statement of Work.

If the Schedule does not show the minimum requirements as stated above, Factor 3 will be rated “UNACCEPTABLE”.

Factor 4: Past Performance of Offeror:

Provide a minimum of two references (i.e., name, title, telephone phone number, and project title/description) who can verify that YOUR company provided recent devices and required attachments of similar scope and complexity as required herein.

Offerors are reminded that, while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete performance information rests with the Offeror.

The present/past performance assessment will also be evaluated using information gleaned from the references provided by the Offeror, as well as any other information available to the Government to include, but not limited to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). If an Offeror receives/received below a ‘satisfactory’ from any references, Provided Reference, PPIRS, and/or FAPIIS, the Offeror will receive and ‘unacceptable’ rating and will no longer be considered for award. Note: Offerors are reminded that, while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete performance information rests with the Offeror.

Document: C201-SB LPTA/April 2024 (The Solicitation)

47PL0324R0001, Volume 1 - RFP Page 14

Standard of Evaluation:

This factor is Acceptable if the Offeror:

Submits past performance information that provides the Government with a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort or the offeror’s past performance is unknown; this factor will be rated as ACCEPTABLE.

If based on the offeror’s past performance, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort, this factor will be rated as UNACCEPTABLE.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”
