About this file
This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Antarctic Science and Engineering Support Contract (ASESC) solicitation, numbered 49100425R0006. The document is designed to collect comprehensive performance evaluations from previous clients regarding a contractor's past performance across seven key areas: quality, schedule/timeliness, customer satisfaction, management/personnel, cost/financial management, safety/security, and general performance. Evaluators are asked to rate the contractor's performance using adjective ratings ranging from Exceptional to Unsatisfactory, providing detailed insights into the contractor's capabilities in executing complex projects.
The solicitation is for an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a single award, anticipated to have a twenty-year ordering period. Work locations will include Continental United States contractor sites, New Zealand, and Antarctica. The contract will be subject to unrestricted full-and-open competition, with NSF seeking to determine the best-value source capable of fulfilling the Antarctic science and engineering support requirements. Potential contractors must complete the questionnaire, which allows previous clients to provide nuanced feedback on their performance across multiple evaluation criteria, enabling NSF to comprehensively assess an offeror's past performance capabilities.

Greetings, If you are receiving this letter and attached survey, it is because an entity you (the “client”) have previously done (or are currently doing) business with is interested in responding to a solicitation for the NSF ASESC procurement. Details regarding this procurement can be found through SAM.gov Contract Opportunities under the solicitation number 49100425R0006.
NSF intends to determine the best-value source which can fulfill this requirement. NSF humbly requests your cooperation with the offering entity (“offeror”) for the purposes of providing a complete survey to NSF.

ADJECTIVE RATINGS AND DEFINITIONS TO BE USED TO BEST REFLECT YOUR EVALUATION OF THE OFFEROR’S PERFORMANCE
| RATING |
| DEFINITION |
| NOTE |
| Exceptional |
| Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government/Owner’s benefit. |
The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor was highly effective.
An Exceptional rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed multiple significant events that were of benefit to the Government/Owner. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also, there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.
| Very Good |
| Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s/Owner’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective. |
| A Very Good rating is appropriate when the Contractor successfully performed a significant event that was a benefit to the Government/Owner. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified. |
| Satisfactory |
| Performance meets minimum 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. |
| A Satisfactory rating is appropriate when there were only minor problems, or major problems that the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified. Per DOD policy, a fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be assessed a rating lower than Satisfactory solely for not |
performing beyond the requirements of the contract.
| Marginal |
| Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub-element being assessed 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.
A Marginal is appropriate when a significant event occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming which impacted the Government/Owner.
| 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 serious problem(s) for which the contractor's corrective actions appear or were ineffective. |
| An Unsatisfactory rating is appropriate when multiple significant events occurred that the contractor had trouble overcoming and which impacted the Government/Owner. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious |
magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating.
| Not Applicable |
| No information or did not apply to your contract |
| Rating will be neither positive nor negative. |
