Will this satisfy the million square foot requirement? What if the subcontractor had 1 million +sf of past performance, then will it satisfy the requirement?

No. Please refer to Attachment 2 – Evaluation Factors, page 3. “This subfactor is met when the offeror provides proof of having performed…” The prime must provide proof of their prior experience. Please note* - Subfactor 5 evaluates Prior Experience, not past performance.
