Past Performance – Past performance shall be rated as satisfactory/unsatisfactory and evaluated based upon contractor-provided evidence of performance of contracts for work which is similar in type, scope, magnitude, and complexity to the work described in this solicitation.

Unsatisfactory:

The offeror has failed to provide evidence, in the form of two (2) references, of successful contract performance within the last 3 years where the contractor is/was responsible for performing work similar in type, scope, magnitude and complexity to the work described in this solicitation; or the past performance information sought and obtained by the Government reflects other than satisfactory performance by the offeror.

The standard for past performance is met when the offeror is determined to have satisfactory past performance.
