(ii) Volume II - Past performance

Past Performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2(b)(3). Past Performance shall include-

The past performance section provides an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. The Government will review recent and relevant performance within the past three (3) years of similar scope, magnitude, and complexity to the service required to be performed (See FAR 52.212-1(b)(10)).

The evaluation of past performance will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent.

The Government may use past performance information provided by the offeror’s references, list of contracts for last three (3) years, and Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) to rate the offeror. Offerors with no relevant past performance information shall provide a written statement attesting to such. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see DFARS 213.106-2(b)(i)(C). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability” unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Offerors shall have three recent and relevant references completed by previous/existing customer(s) using the questionnaire format (See Attachment 5 of the solicitation). The questionnaire must be completed and mailed by the customer to the address at 52.212-1(2) or email directly (questionnaires only) to: alicia.prince@am.dodea.edu.
