Questions and Answers Fort Carson Commissary

QUESTION 1:

Past Performance: Can a teaming partners' past performance be included and considered viable Past Performance for Volume III?

ANSWER 1:

As a teaming agreement between two parties offers no assurance to DeCA that the teaming arrangement will remain intact throughout the life of the contract and provides DeCA privy of contract with the entity who signs the offer vs. both parties of the teaming agreement. Therefore, past performance for the signatory of the offer is the only past performance that would be considered. A Joint Venture, on the other hand, binds all entities of the Joint Venture and allows DeCA to take into consideration the past performance of all entities. A copy of the Joint Venture has to be provided along with the proposal for the requirement.
