(d) PAST PERFORMANCE. Past Performance information is required in response to all solicitations. For solicitations that require only a Price Proposal, past performance information will be used in the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination of individual offerors, as required by FAR Part 9. For those solicitations that require a Technical Proposal, past performance information will be used to evaluate past performance as the second non-cost factor in addition to Technical Capability. The offeror shall submit information regarding its past performance on the form entitled Contractor Performance Data Report, attached to the solicitation. All contracts and subcontracts (completed or in progress) for the last three years awarded by DLA Energy as well as other (completed or in progress) Government agencies or the private sector that are related to the proposed contract shall be included on the form. Failure to submit a complete list may reflect adversely on the offeror. The number of relevant past performance efforts submitted in accordance with the attachment shall not exceed five for the prime offeror. The Government reserves the right to make telephone contact with offerors, proposed subcontractors and references in order to confirm and/or clarify the past performance information submitted. The Government has the option to consider information from these sources, and any others that may be available, that it deems necessary in order to make an accurate assessment of the offeror’s past performance. In addition, the offeror should provide additional information on any significant problems encountered and corrective actions taken under contract(s).

This information will be used in the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination as required by FAR Part 9. The written supply commitment letter must clearly indicate—

[ X ] (A) The owner of the fill plant or production facility is willing to provide the products and/or services required to be delivered/performed under any resultant contract for the duration of the delivery period shown in the Schedule; and [ X ] (B) Confirmation of the quantity and specification of the products to be delivered;
