PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE

Instructions to Evaluator The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is procuring counter nuclear smuggling system deployment (CNSSD) services to deploy integrated sustainable counter nuclear smuggling systems in cooperation with international partners around the world, in order to strengthen the overall capability of partner countries to detect, disrupt, and investigate smuggling of nuclear and radiological materials that could be used in acts of terrorism. The scope includes tasks associated with design, integration, construction, communications, logistics, training, and equipment procurement to support the deployment of counter nuclear smuggling systems. Examples of counter nuclear smuggling system components include but are not limited to: radiation detection systems, security systems, passive barriers, non-structural modifications of existing buildings, new supporting infrastructure, communications equipment and systems, vehicles, and other items and systems that enable, and are complimentary to, the radiation detection mission. Evaluation of past performance is integral to our source selection process. Accordingly, we request your candid assessment of past performance. Please see Section A below for the identity of the contractor whose performance you are requested to assess as well as the contract of interest.

Once completed, this questionnaire and any appended information becomes Source Selection Information, as defined by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 2.101 and 3.104, and must be protected from disclosure. Access to this information shall be limited to Government procurement officials.

Please forward the completed questionnaire no later than May XX, 2023, to:

Contracting Officer: Sean Merritt Via email: CNSSD@nnsa.doe.gov Hand-written evaluations are acceptable however NNSA prefers typed or computer-generated responses. All evaluations must relate solely to the contractor and the contract, task, or order identified in SECTION A. To the extent feasible, the evaluation should be limited to performance that occurred after May XX, 2020. Please answer each question in SECTION B by circling one of the ratings:

E = Exceptional - Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

VG = Very Good - Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

S = Satisfactory - Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appear or were satisfactory.

M = Marginal - Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being evaluated reflects a serious problem for which the contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

U = Unsatisfactory - Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.

N = Neutral - If the offeror lacks a record of relevant past performance history, or for whom past performance information is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

In addition, please provide supporting comments for each rating. Please use your supporting comments to highlight the contractor’s specific strengths and weaknesses. You may use additional sheets if required. Your ratings and comments should reflect only performance for which the contractor was responsible. You may supplement your knowledge with the knowledge and judgment of others in your organization. Areas not relevant to contractor scope performed can be marked as N, or left blank.

Please type or print clearly the requested information in SECTION C for the person primarily responsible for completing the questionnaire, then transmit the completed questionnaire to the point of contact identified above via email. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
