Question #1:

Will the Government allow previously completed PPQs to be submitted in lieu of the form provided in the solicitation?

Answer #1:

No. The Government requests that the Offeror forward a copy of Attachment 3 – Past Performance Questionnaire (please see paragraph 6.5 – Past Performance Questionnaires, located on page 80 of 92 of the solicitation).

Question #2:

Will the Government allow CCASS/CPARS which have been completed by Government personnel to be submitted in lieu of the Questionnaire form provided with the solicitation?

Answer #2:

No. The Government will seek relevant past performance information through the PPQs, Past Performance Retrieval System (PPIRS), Defense Contract Management Agency channels, interviews with program managers and Contracting Officers, award fee letters, benchmarking data, and any other sources known to, or found out by, the Government, including commercial sources. As such, in determining the Integrated Past Performance Confidence Rating, the Government will use both data provided by the Offeror and data obtained from other sources (please see paragraph 2.2.3 – Relevancy, located on page 91 of 92 of the solicitation).

Question #3:

Independent of the first two questions, the current due date for the Past Performance Questionnaires is listed as November 22, 2016 which is the same day as the deadline to submit questions. Will the Government please consider extending the PPQ due date to December 9, 2016 (the day proposals are due) so that if any changes are made to project selection as a result of Q&A we have time to submit PPQs to clients and they have sufficient time to submit to your office?
