Q: Section 1 “Instructions to Offerors”, Para. F, “Subfactor 2.1 – Previous Experience”, Item 1, (top of 2nd page) – This item indicates the “orders completed” for Previous Experience shall be “within the last three (3) years”; however, under Section 2 “Evaluation Factors for Award”, “Subfactor 2.1 – Previous Experience”, Item 1 states that “This subfactor is met when Offeror: Provides a minimum of three (3) examples of orders completed of similar size, quantity and delivery timeline as required by the government.
