L.28 (GSFC 52.215-230) PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME (MAY 2018)

An Offeror’s past performance record indicates the relevant quantitative and qualitative aspects of performing services or delivering products similar in size and content to the requirements of this acquisition.

The Offeror shall provide, at a minimum, the following information in support of its proposal to facilitate the evaluation of the Offeror’s past performance as related to the requirements of the proposed contract.

(a) INFORMATION FROM THE OFFEROR

Prime Offerors shall furnish the information requested below for all of your most recent contracts

(completed and ongoing) for similar efforts with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of

$750,000 that your company has had within the last 5 years of the RFP release date.

For the purposes of the Past Performance Volume, a proposed significant subcontractor is defined as any proposed subcontractor that is estimated to meet/exceed an average annual cost/fee of $750,000.

Note, the definition of significant subcontractor for the past performance evaluation may be different than for the cost evaluation. The Offeror shall provide the information requested below for any significant subcontractor(s) for those similar efforts within the last 5 years of the RFP release date with a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred of at least 25% of the estimated average annual dollar value of the proposed significant subcontract.

For example (note, these example numbers may not relate to this specific procurement), if a procurement is valued at an average annual value of $50M and a proposed significant subcontractor for the effort has a proposed average annual cost/fee of $16M, the Offeror shall provide relevant current/past contract references that have a minimum average annual cost/fee incurred at/above $4M

(25% of $16M) for that significant subcontractor.

If a prime Offeror or significant subcontractor is submitting past performance data on a current/past contract vehicle that includes multiple tasks, orders, etc, all effort under that contract vehicle may be consolidated for the purposes of meeting the average annual cost/fee incurred in the instructions above and for the purpose of evaluating contract relevance for the proposed requirement.

The Offeror shall provide an estimated value and percentage of work to be performed on this contract by the Prime Offeror and each significant subcontractor. Indicate the primary functions (SOW, WBS, etc) to be performed by the Prime Offeror and each proposed significant subcontractor. Indicate which contracts are most related (i.e. similar in size and content) and how they are related to the proposed effort, as well as which contracts were performed by the division of your company (if applicable) that will perform the proposed contract/subcontract.

If applicable, Offerors may provide the experience or past performance of a parent or affiliated or predecessor company to an Offeror (including Joint Venture prime partner companies and/or a parent or affiliated company that is being otherwise proposed as a subcontractor on this effort) where the firm’s proposal demonstrates that the resources of the parent or affiliate or predecessor will affect the performance of the Offeror. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the resources of the parent or affiliate or predecessor company (its workforce, management, facilities or other resources) shall be provided or relied upon for contract performance such that the parent or affiliate or predecessor will have meaningful involvement in contract performance.

The Offeror shall provide the following information on all past/current contract references that meet the above criteria for the Prime Offeror and each significant subcontractor:

• Customer's name, E-mail address, and telephone number of both the lead contractual and technical personnel most familiar with the Offeror’s performance record. (Please verify the information provided is current and correct).

• Cage Code and/or DUNS Number of the contractor performing the work.

• Contract number, type, and total original and present or final contract value.

• The current contract expenditures incurred to date, the date in which the expenditures have been incurred through, and the Average Annual Cost/Fee Incurred to Date. For example (note, these example numbers may not relate to this specific procurement):

A current five year contract that you are performing has a total estimated value of $100,000,000. As of the latest cost report which reflected cost/fee through the first 2 years and 4 months of performance, the total amount of cost/fee incurred by the Offeror over the duration of the contract was $43,500,000.

In this example, an Offeror would provide the following:

Current Contract Expenditures incurred to Date: $43,500,000

Date in which Expenditures have been incurred through: Insert Date of cost report that indicated cost/fee total of $43,500,000 after 2 years and 4 months of performance.

Average Annual Cost/Fee Incurred to Date: $18,669,528 ($43,500,000/2.33 years)

• Date of contract, place(s) of performance, and delivery dates or period of performance.

• Brief description of contract work and comparability to the proposed effort. It is not sufficient to state that it is comparable in magnitude and scope. Rationale must be provided to demonstrate that it is comparable.

• Method of acquisition: competitive or noncompetitive.

• Nature of award: initial or follow-on. If initial, indicate whether award was preceded by a

Government, customer, or Offeror financed study.

• Identify and explain major technical problems and how they were overcome. List any major deviations or waivers to technical requirements that were granted by the customer.

• Identify and explain completion successes and delays, including adherence to program schedules.

Provide an assessment of the performance (technical and schedule) on these past programs and support these assessments with metrics such as award or incentive fees earned.

• Cost management history; identify and explain any cost overruns and underruns, and cost incentive history, if applicable.

• Average number of personnel on the contract per year and percent turnover of personnel per year.

• Recent customer evaluations of past performance including Award Fee Evaluation results, Fee

Determination Official letters, Annual Performance Evaluation Forms, etc. (Excluded from the page limitation).

• List any contracts terminated (partial or complete) within the past 5 years and basis for termination (convenience or default). Include the contract number, name, address, and telephone number of the terminating officer (please verify telephone numbers). Include contracts that were

"descoped" by the customer because of performance or cost problems. (Excluded from the page limitation).

If the prime Offeror is an existing joint venture, then the prime Offeror shall provide the majority of the reference contracts required above for the joint venture. If the joint venture is newly established for this effort and therefore cannot provide past performance contracts in the name of joint venture, then past performance from individual members of the joint venture will be considered.

Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of their proposed significant subcontractors to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractors' past performance evaluation with the Offeror.
