Commercial Client Authorization Letter_Past Performance Questionnaire

NOTE TO OFFERORS: This procurement could be similar to commercial supplies/services. Therefore, to assist the Government’s Past Performance Team in assessing your present and past performance on relevant commercial contracts, the following letter must be sent to your points of contact (POCs) for those commercial efforts that you identify to us in your past performance volume. Should you propose to use critical subcontractors and/or joint venture members, you must obtain a similar client authorization letter from each entity. HOWEVER, it is your sole responsibility, as the offeror, to then send out these authorization letters with the Present/Past Performance Questionnaire to your own POCs and to those of your critical subcontractors and/or joint venture members and include a copy in your past performance volume.

We, therefore, respectfully request and hereby authorize you to complete the attached Questionnaire with regards to work we have performed for you, and submit it by email or post mail.
