CAUTION: Offerors are cautioned that the FAA may use the data provided by other sources in evaluating past performance. Offerors will be given an opportunity to rebut information considered negative and relevant to the mailto:Stephanie.riddle@faa.gov evaluation. While the FAA may consider data from other sources, the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance data rests with the Offeror.
