L7.4.2 CONTRACTOR’S PAST/PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION DOCUMENTS: Offeror's should provide past performance information on contracts and/or task orders considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the UPS maintenance and repair requirements. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Where problems existed, clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming these problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified.

A Past Performance Information Document is required on the Prime Offeror or joint venture and subcontractors or teaming partners that will perform 10% or more of this acquisition. Limited to no more than three separate contracts from offeror and two from subcontractors/partners with three (3) pages per contract listed, for a total of five references. Only references for same or similar type contract desired. A sample format of the Past Performance Information Sheet is provided as Attachment 3 - Past Performance Information Sheet.

Past Performance Information, either Government or commercial, must be for the same business division or cost center (this rule applies to the proposed Prime Contractor as well as proposed subcontractors/teaming/venture partners).

L7.4.3 PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE TRACKING RECORD: Offeror shall send out, and confirm receipt and submission of, the Past and Present Performance Questionnaire at Attachment 5 – Past Performance Questionnaire, to each of the offeror’s major subcontractors, teaming Contractors and/or joint venture partners (e.g., each entity’s) Points of Contact (POC) identified in the Past Performance Questionnaire Tracking Record.

For each questionnaire, complete and sign a letter containing substantially the same information as in the Sample Questionnaire Cover Letter, (Attachment 4 - Past Performance Cover Letter). Cover letters shall be printed on company letterhead. The offeror shall exert its best efforts to ensure that at least two POCs, per relevant contract, submit a completed Past Performance Questionnaire directly to the Government not later than the proposal due date. To avoid potential conflicts, offeror’s are exempt from sending Past Performance Questionnaires to other potential competitors of this acquisition.

In this situation, it is the offeror’s responsibility to find an alternative method of providing the Government the same or similar information. Each of the offeror’s POCs shall e-mail the completed Past Performance Questionnaire to Sharon Boren at sharon.boren@us.af.mil or Mr. Justin Pedersen at justin.pedersen.3@us.af.mil. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail or you do not have the capability to send the documents electronically, please fax it directly to Ms. Boren and Mr. Perdersen at fax number (402) 294-0430. Please have your POCs call Ms. Boren at (402) 232-6466 or Mr. Pedersen at (402) 294-9600 before faxing their response. Once the Past Performance Questionnaires are completed by your POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released. Questionnaires shall be sent back directly to the Government, with best efforts made to ensure completion and submissions from at least two of the following (in descending order of availability):

(1) Procuring Contracting Officer/Contract Negotiator or equivalent

(2) Administrative Contracting Officer/Contract Administrator or equivalent

(3) Program/Project Manager or equivalent

L7.4.4 PAST PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTS: This information is required on the contracts submitted IAW the Past Performance Information Documents paragraph above. If an evaluation method other than a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) has been used in conducting performance assessments (e.g. an Award Fee notification letter, a subcontractor’s prime Contractor performance evaluation, etc.) that form/documentation shall be submitted. The offeror should immediately notify the Contracting Officer listed above if a CPAR or other evaluation form has been accomplished on the offeror’s existing work but the contracting office for that requirement will not release the information. Provide the contract number, point-of-contact, and phone number from which the past performance information shall be obtained. This information shall be provided to the Contracting Officer as soon as any difficulty occurs and before the proposal due date.

L7.4.5 CLIENT AUTHORIZATION CONSENT LETTERS: Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s consent. Because the offeror is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past performance information to the offeror during exchanges. (See Attachment 7 – Client Authorization Consent Letter for the Release of Past and Present Performance Information to the Prime Contractor.) In an effort to assist the Government in assessing your past performance relevancy and acceptability, request the sample consent letter be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent letter shall be submitted as part of the Past Performance Information Volume, but will not be considered in the page count of this Volume. Should the offeror not submit a completed consent letter for major subcontractors or teaming partners, the Government will only discuss past performance information directly with the prospective sub-contractor or teaming partner that is being reviewed. If there is a problem with the proposed subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s past performance, the offeror can be notified of a problem, but no details may be discussed without the subcontractor’s/teaming partner’s permission. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization consent letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance. (See Attachment 7 – Client Authorization Consent Letter)

L7.4.6 ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE CHANGE HISTORY: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusions of recent past efforts. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a “roadmap” describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your “roadmap” should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources. This information is required on the offeror, teaming partners and/or joint venture partners, and major subcontractors, as necessary.

L7.5 RECENCY AND RELEVANCY OF PAST PERFORMANCE:

L7.5.1 Recency: Contracts submitted for review should also be recent. In determining recency, the Government will only consider work performance under an effort existing within the past three years from formal release date of the UPS Maintenance & Repair solicitation. Additionally, performance of less than six months from the formal release date of the UPS Maintenance & Repair solicitation will not be considered due to limited performance history of these efforts.

L7.5.2 Relevancy: Offerors shall include the rationale supporting the assertion of relevance on the contracts submitted for consideration in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. The Government is not bound by the offeror’s interpretation of relevancy. The evaluation of past performance will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to this acquisition. The Government may contact references other than those identified by the offeror and use the information received to evaluate the offeror's past performance.

L7.5.3 Quality Performance: Each offeror will receive a Past Performance Relevancy and acceptability rating, as related to each technical subfactors 1 through 6. The Government will determine how well the contractor performed on previous contracts and assign a rating per contract.

L7.5.4 DETERMINATION OF RESPONSIBILITY: Past performance information obtained in the course of the source selection may be used to support a responsibility determination IAW FAR 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors (if necessary).
