c. Other Past Performance Documentation (not counted towards page count).

(1) Past Performance Questionnaires and Point of Contact Listing. Offerors will send out the Past Performance Questionnaires (Attachement 7 of the solicitation; excluded from page limitation) to each reference identified in the Past Performance Volume. The responsibility to send out the Past Performance Questionnaires rests solely with the Offeror. References will return completed questionnaires directly to the Government POC. The information contained in completed questionnaires will be considered sensitive and will not be released to the Offeror. The Government reserves the right to contact the references provided by the Offeror and any other references generated by the Government to discuss the Offeror’s past performance. Point of Contact Listing: provide a list of questionnaire recipients with the POC and phone number for each contract reference provided as part of the Past Performance Volume. The offeror is solely responsible for the accuracy of the contact information provided. The Government reserves the right to contact the references provided by the offeror and any other references generated by the government to discuss the offeror’s present and past performance.

(2) Consent Letters. Subcontractor past performance information cannot be disclosed to the Prime Offeror without the Subcontractor’s consent. Provide a letter in the Past Performance Volume (Attachment 6 of the solicitation - Consent Letter; excluded from page limitation) from all Subcontractors consenting to the release of their past performance information to the Prime contractor (letters do not count towards page count).

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 present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what present/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 within the last 3 years. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for present/past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present/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 to which the Government receives information from other sources. Include CAGE codes for any predecessor companies to facilitate Government research.

While offerors are not bound to use that NAICS for all subcontracting, deviations must clearly fit the NAICS chosen.

(3) To qualify as a small business, subcontractors must meet the size standard for the NAICS code of the subcontract.
