The Government may consider this information, as well as information obtained from any other sources, when evaluating the offeror’s past performance. The vendor is further reminded that the source selection authority shall determine the relevance of similar past performance information (PPI).

The offeror is requested to provide this information in the following format for each contract:

1. Contract Number and Client point of contact

2. Dollar Value of the contract

3. Contract performance period

Vendors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of them and that it will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Past Performance Proposal; as such, Past Performance Proposals must be fully self-sufficient and provide all necessary information. Failure to submit the Past Performance Proposal by the date and time cited above may be cause for rejection and the proposal receiving no further consideration.

FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items. (Oct 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation and Statement of Work will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

• Past Performance

• Price Past Performance, is significantly more important than price. However, the Government will not award at significantly higher prices to only achieve slightly better performance.
