Attachment 5- Past Performance.docx

This is a Past Performance evaluation document that outlines the requirements for offerors responding to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Nursery Services issued by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (Solicitation Number 1232SA26Q0356-B) for an Isolated Crossing and Breeding Nursery project. Offerors must submit two to three past performance references from projects completed within the last three years that are similar or larger in size, scope, and complexity to the nursery services requirements. At least two references must demonstrate the offeror's experience as a prime contractor, while additional references may be from subcontractor experience. Each reference submission must include the project title, detailed description of scope and responsibilities, contract/order/BPA number, contract type and period of performance, relevant government agency and organization, current contact information for both the Contracting Officer and Contracting Officer's Representative (including name, address, and phone number or email), project status, and a narrative explaining the reference's relevance to the current effort.

The Government will use past performance information to assess the offeror's ability to successfully execute the required nursery services and will evaluate the quality and probability of success based on demonstrated performance records. Offerors are strongly cautioned that failure to provide current and accurate point of contact information may adversely impact proposal evaluation, and the Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from sources beyond those provided by the offeror. Quotations are due by April 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM PT to Elizabeth Calhoun at Elizabeth.Calhoun@usda.gov, and offerors must include the solicitation name and number in the email subject line.
