b. General Format and Content

The offeror shall submit the following volumes of material. A complete proposal consists of two separate volumes:

(1) Volume I – Past and Present Performance.

Performance data from all military services is maintained in this system. Only government employees can access the system. In addition to whatever past/present performance data for contractors is found in PPIRS, the Government will consider contractors’ past/present performance of other relevant contracts they have recently performed. Therefore, contractors must provide the information identified in paragraphs (1) through (h) below for any contracts they desire the Government to recognize in the evaluation of past and present performance.

(b) Provide data as specified in paragraph “f” below. This requirement also applies to all proposed first tier subcontractors, teaming partners, and joint ventures.

(c) Past and present performance, for the purpose of satisfying the above requirement, means recent and relevant work, comparable to this acquisition. RECENT- Any contract effort with performance within three (3) years of issuance date of this solicitation. RELEVANCY is defined in 52.212-2 Addendum, whether or not it was government work or commercial work. If your firm has provided relevant and recent past/present performance documentation to Hill AFB UT in response to other solicitations within the last six (6) months, a letter referencing the RFP number(s) and title(s) can be provided in lieu of providing Volume I. Identify the corporate division that performed the contract/subcontract, if applicable.

(d) In describing contractual effort and the contractors’ performance, include specific details of technical performance (actual performance versus required performance), actual quality or reliability versus specified levels; security deviations, violations, compromises; performance incentives and award fee earned versus total award fee pool, etc.); management performance in meeting program schedules and milestones; and cost performance (under or overruns, cost incentives earned or lost, etc.). The discussion should include "lessons learned" or a description of any corrective action taken to prevent recurrence of past performance listed and considered substandard, and a narration or recitation of how the past performance may benefit this program.

(e) The Past and Present Performance Volume may be provided to the government or commercial points of contact for verification. Past and present performance information on recent contracts not listed by the contractors, or that of previous or planned subcontractors, may also be solicited directly from the ACO or other authoritative government or commercial sources. Verification of past and present performance information may also be handled telephonically. The Past and Present Performance Volume shall include a list of all customers to whom Past and Present Performance Customer Surveys were provided, including current point of contact and phone number.

(f) Provide a comprehensive list of recent and relevant contracts as defined above in paragraph (c), over the past three- (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation.

(h) Contractor Present and Past Performance Questionnaires. Contractors shall provide the reproducible Present and Past Performance Contractor Performance Questionnaire, which is included as Attachment 4, to its customers for direct response back to the Government. The Present and Past Performance Information obtained directly from contractors’ customers will be used, in addition to information from other sources, to evaluate contractors’ past and present performance in accordance with the criteria set forth in Clause 52.212-2 of this solicitation. Completed Contractor Present and Past Performance Questionnaires sent directly to the Government from any offeror will not be considered in the evaluations. It is the responsibility of contractors to ensure that their customers complete the questionnaires for all projects that are to be considered in the evaluation of a contractor’s present/past performance and to ensure that its customers send such completed questionnaires directly to the Contracting Office not later than the date and time established for receipt of proposals.

(1) Each offeror shall send out the Present and Past Performance Questionnaires located at Attachment 4 to each of the offeror’s past performance references Points of Contact (POC) identified in the contracts listed in the Past Performance Volume. Once the Questionnaires are completed by the offeror’s POCs, the information contained in the questionnaires shall be considered sensitive and not released to you, the offeror.

(2) If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts.

(3) Past performance information pertaining to a teaming partner, joint venture, and/or subcontractor cannot be disclosed to a private party without that party’s consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing teaming partner, joint venture, or subcontractor past and present performance information to the prim during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government in assessing the offeror’s past performance, a consent letter shall be completed by the subcontractor, teaming partners or joint ventures identified in your proposal. The signed consent shall be submitted as part of your Past Performance volume.

(i) If the offeror claims there is no past performance, this status must be identified to the contracting officer no later than the due date/time for past performance information from all offerors. A “neutral/unknown” confidence assessment rating will be assigned for a lack of any past performance information. This will not automatically disqualify an offeror, but is a factor considered in the Price Performance Trade-Off (PPT) technique as described in the addendum for FAR 52.212-2.

(j) All questionnaires and references are to be submitted to the Contracting Officer at 75th Contracting Squadron no later than the proposal due date.
