NON-GOVERNMENT COMMERCIAL CLIENT AUTHORIZATION LETTER

A non-government commercial client of the Offeror, teaming partner, or joint venture partner cannot disclose to the Government past performance information concerning private sector Offerors, teaming partners or joint venture partners without their consent. The Offeror will be required to authorize each non-government commercial client to make such disclosures to the Government for each identified past performance effort for a non-government commercial client. This client authorization letter will authorize the client to disclose to the Government the requested information on the Offeror's performance. The Government will need the consent in the client authorization letter before contacting non-government commercial clients to assess the Offeror’s past performance. In an effort to assist the Past Performance Evaluation Team in assessing your past performance relevancy and confidence, we request that a client authorization letter similar to the following be completed by any non-government commercial clients identified in your Past Performance Volume. The completed client authorization letters should be submitted as part of your Past Performance Volume.

Offerors should send with their list of references a client authorization letter similar to the following to provide past performance information to the Government.
