Questions and Answers for

Request For Proposal Air Force Geospatial Support As of 7 March 2017

Q1. Para 3.1 (page 117) of Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 states “Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with their proposal containing past performance information IAW the format contained in the Past Performance Information Sheet (PPIS) (Attachment 9). Your submissions will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposing to perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance.” Para 3.3 states “Submit information IAW the PPIS on no more than three recent contracts ……” If our team includes more than three members and only 3 entries are allowed, how will we meet the requirement of providing a PPIS for each member? Alternatively, are we allowed/required to submit no more than 3 PPIS entries per team member?"

A: To clarify, each offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner who is performing “aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to the overall successful performance” may submit no more than three PPISs. To reiterate, per paragraph 3.3, “There is no page limit per PPIS; however, the total Past Performance volume shall not exceed 30 pages.”
