The Government shall evaluate an offerors Technical Approach using the ratings idenified in Table 1.

Table 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH RATINGS Rating

Description

ACCEPTABLE

Offeror’s has provided clear evidence that they meet the requirements of SubFactors 1-3 and the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

UNACCEPTABLE

Offeror’s has not provided clear evidence that they meet the requirements of SubFactors 1-3 and the Government does not have a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

c. Volume III – Past Performance.

i) Offerors must provide (as part of Volume III) a list (references) of no less or more than two (2) of the most recent and relevant contracts performed for Federal agencies and commercial customers. If more than 2 references are provided, only the first 2 will be evaluated. Offerors whom identify less than 2 references due to a lack of relevant past performance must comply with section 4(c)(ii)(d) below.

Offerors whom provide less than 2 past performance references and fail to comply with section 4(c)(ii)(d) below, will result in that offeror being determined “non-responsive” and remove them from consideration. Furnish the following information for each reference provided:

- Company/Division name

- Product/Service

- Contracting Agency/Customer

- Contract Number

- Contract Dollar Value

- Period of Performance

- Verified, up-to-date name, address, FAX & telephone number of the contracting officer

- Comments regarding compliance with contract terms and conditions

- Comments regarding any known performance deemed unacceptable to the customer, or not in accordance with the contract terms and conditions.

ii. The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror’s performance deemed relevant to the requirements of the PWS. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel (if applicable) 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 shall evaluate an offerors Past Performance using the ratings idenified in Table 2.

Table 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS

ACCEPTABLE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

UNACCEPTABLE

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

a) The Government will use the following recency and relevancy definitions when assessing recent and relevant contracts:

i. Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

ii. Relevancy Assessment: As described in Table 3 below, the Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the provided products/services performed under those contracts relate to the Performance Work Statement (to include magnitude of effort) provided and assign a rating of “Relevant or “Not Relevant. Magnitude of effort is defined by dollar value. Failure to provide references valued at atleast $15,000 per year, will not be considered within the magnitude of effort and will receive a rating of “Not Relevant”. A relevancy determination of the offeror’s past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s). In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Past performance information deemed “Not Relevant” will result in an “unacceptable” past performance rating.

Table 3 – RELEVANCY ASSESSMENTS

RELEVANT

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

NOT RELEVANT

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

b) In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance proposal volume and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers,Contracting Officers and Fee Determining Officials; the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and commercial sources.

c) Assigning Ratings. Past performance submissions determined to be neither recent and/or relevant, will result in an offeror receiving a performance confidence assessment of “Unacceptable”. Negative past performance found using sources described in section d above, may result in a past performance confidence rating of “Unacceptable”.

d) In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Offerors without a record (minimum of 2 references) of relevant past performance will be required to affirmatively demonstrate its responsibility by providing supporting documentation. Supporting documentation must provide evidence that the offeror:

i. Has adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them;

ii. Is able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule, taking into consideration all existing commercial and governmental business commitments;

iii. Has a satisfactory performance record;

iv. Has a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics;

v. Has the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them (including, as appropriate, such elements as production control procedures, property control systems, quality assurance measures, and safety programs applicable to materials to be produced or services to be performed by the prospective contractor and subcontractors);

vi. Is otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

e) Should supporting documentation be evaluated to reflect an offeror lacks certain elements of responsibility the contracting officer shall –

i. Withhold contract award (see 19.602-3); and

ii. Refer the matter to the cognizant SBA Government Contracting Area Office (Area Office) serving the area in which the headquarters of the offeror is located, in accordance with agency procedures.

iii. Within 15 business days (or a longer period agreed to by the SBA and the contracting agency) after receiving a notice that a small business concern lacks certain elements of responsibility, the SBA Area Office will notify the concern and the contracting officer that the COC is denied or is being issued. Failure to be issued a COC will result in that offeror being determined ineligible for award.
