6 Atch 6 Past performance Requirements.docx

Solicitation No. FA520920Q0030, Attachment 6, Date: 27 May 20

Past Performance Requirements

Past performance evaluation considers each quoter's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the solicitation requirements as well as the quality assessment, based on contacting customers. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the quoter's Past Performance quote and any information obtained from other sources available to the Government.

The Past Performance evaluation results in an assessment of the quoter's probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. Quoters must receive a past performance rating of Acceptable to be eligible for award.

Recency Assessment. An assessment of the PPI will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past 3 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Ongoing contracts shall have completed at least six (6) months of performance by the solicitation release date in order to be considered for acceptability. PPI that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy Assessment. The Government will conduct an evaluation of all recent PPI obtained to determine whether the products provided/services performed under those contracts relate to the products/services identified within the PWS. A relevancy determination of the quoter's PPI will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including predecessor companies, teaming partner(s), and subcontractor(s). In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will only consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime, teaming partner, or subcontractor. PPI pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime quoter without the subcontractor's consent. PPI forms and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. The Government will assess relevancy for each recent PPI using the following definitions in the below table 1.

Table 1. Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

Performance Quality Assessment. For each of the recent and relevant past performance information reviewed, the performance quality of work will be assessed based on the (i) Quality Assessment Criteria evaluated through using the comments from the contacted customers and (ii) the evaluation ratings in the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), if available. The Government will assess the quality of each recent and relevant PPI using the following quality descriptions in the below table 2.

Table 2. Past Performance Quality Assessment

Evaluation Ratings. As a result of the relevancy and performance quality assessments of the recent PPI evaluated, the Government will assess an integrated past performance evaluation rating as described in the table below 3.

Table 3. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

(See note below.)

Note: In the case of a quoter whose PPI is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the quoter may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the quoter shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, unknown past performance shall be considered Acceptable. More recent performance will have a greater impact on the Past Performance rating than less recent effort.

Quoters are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in FAR 52.212-1 of this solicitation. The Government intends to award a contract without further interchanges with quoters. Consequently, quoters are highly encouraged to quote their best quote in their initial submissions. However, the Government reserves the right to have interchanges with any or all quoters, if it is determined advantageous for the Government to do so. This statement is not to be construed to mean that the Government is obligated to have interchanges with every quoter (note that FAR Part 15 procedures do not apply to FAR 13 procedures, therefore formal discussions are not applicable). A quoter may be eliminated from consideration without further interchanges if its quote is not among those considered most advantageous to the Government based on a best value determination.
