3. PAST PERFORMANCE. The Government will assess the firm's past performance on the projects identified in section F of the SF 330 with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules, as determined from the completed Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) submitted by customer contacts, as well as information obtained from other sources. The firm's history of working relationships and management of project teams may also be considered when reviewing past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, Government past performance databases (e.g., Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), etc.), and interviews with previous and current customers. The Government may also consider the firm's past performance on projects other than those provided in Section F of the SF 330 using other sources as described above. The recency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the firm's past performance will be considered. The Government will not disclose the names of persons/companies who provide performance information. Firms may provide information on problems encountered on identified contracts and the firm's corrective actions in their description of the project in Section F. If, during the course of the evaluation, the Government obtains adverse information to which a firm has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the Government will afford the firm an opportunity to clarify the adverse information.

The following areas will be evaluated:

Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must have been completed or performed during the past five (5) years from the date of the issuance of this solicitation. Efforts that have not yet been completed shall have had at least six (6) months of performance prior to the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails these conditions shall not be evaluated. If the removal of one or more projects from the past performance evaluation pool results in the number of evaluated projects to fall below the minimum project requirement of five, the offeror will be removed from further consideration for award.

Relevance Assessment: The Government will conduct an evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the effort relates to the SERAE II IDIQ. The past performance summary and information that may be obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevance of the past performance.

The Government will use the following degrees of relevance when assessing recent contracts:

Degree Description

RELEVANT (R) Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

NOT RELEVANT (NR) Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Past Performance Ratings: The offeror's relevant experience and past performance will be reviewed and an assessment made that reflects the Government's judgment of the probability of each offeror successfully accomplishing the proposed effort based on that offeror's demonstrated performance. Each individual project will not be individually rated; however, the information for each project will be considered and that data will be consolidated into a single level of confidence rating in accordance with the following:

Very High Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is of exceptional merit and is very highly pertinent to this acquisition, indicates exemplary performance in a timely, efficient, and economical manner and very minor (if any) problems with no adverse effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a very high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more significant strengths exist. No significant weaknesses exist.)

High Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is highly pertinent to this acquisition; demonstrating very effective performance that would be fully responsive to contract requirements. Offeror's past performance indicates that contract requirements were accomplished in a timely, efficient, and economical manner for the most part, with only minor problems that had little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a high level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more significant strengths exist. Strengths outbalance any weakness.)

Moderate Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is pertinent to this acquisition, and it demonstrates effective performance. Performance was fully responsive to contract requirements; there may have been reportable problems, but with little identifiable effect on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a moderate level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (There may be strengths or weaknesses, or both.)

Low Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance is at least somewhat pertinent to this acquisition, and it meets or slightly exceeds minimum acceptable standards. Offeror achieved adequate results; there may have been reportable problems with identifiable, but not substantial, effects on overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Changes to the offeror's existing processes may be necessary in order to achieve contract requirements.

(One or more weaknesses exist. Weaknesses outbalance strengths.)

Very Low Level of Confidence

The offeror's relevant past performance does not meet minimum acceptable standards in one or more areas;

remedial action was required in one or more areas. Performance problems occurred in one or more areas which, adversely affected overall performance. Based on the offeror's performance record, there is a very low level of confidence that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. (One or more deficiencies or significant weaknesses exist.)

Neutral

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance [see FAR 15.305(a) (2) (ii) and (iv)].
