The Offeror must state if the company has not performed any contracts within the magnitude and/or scope of this contract.

For Large Business Offerors, two of the three submitted efforts must have been performed by the prime offeror as the prime contractor. The government will consider up to one past performance effort of the prime offeror performed as a major subcontractor. For Small Business Offerors, one effort may have been performed as a major subcontractor, although an effort performed as a prime contractor may be evaluated as being more relevant than an effort performed as a major subcontractor, depending on other relevant information.

The Offeror shall provide past performance information for up to three recent and relevant contracts.

Recent contracts are those that have been completed within five years of the date of issuance of this solicitation or current contracts with A minimum of 6 months of completed performance as of the date of issuance of this solicitation. Relevant contracts are for Contracts providing Logistics Planning & Moving Services of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. If the past performance was performed by another corporate entity within the offeror’s corporate organization, the offeror’s proposal must explain the extent to which each entity was involved in the performance of each requirement. The Offeror shall explain why it considers its past performance information relevant.

Past Performance shall describe the offeror's past performance on previous contracts similar to the work to be performed under this contract. Offerors are encouraged to submit information considered relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. For each effort identified, the Offeror shall discuss problems encountered during performance and its approach to solving them, its approach to staffing, and any other challenges similar to those expected to be encountered in performing the current requirement.

Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) shall be completed using the prescribed form in Attachment C of this solicitation. All fields of the PPQ must be completed or the form may be determined incomplete, and may not count towards the offeror’s past performance. PPQs must be submitted by the Offeror for all past performance projects presented in the offeror’s past performance volume submittal. NGA reserves the right to contact the point of contact (POC) to verify any information in past performance submissions. Please follow all instructions listed below:

It is the responsibility of the offeror to explain how its past performance information is relevant to the proposed contract. The Government may utilize references other than those identified by offerors in evaluation of offerors’ Past Performance.

Section 5 – Evaluation Factors for Award

5.1 Source Selection Evaluation Criteria

This document describes specific, defined criteria to be used to evaluate/score these factors to determine the overall best value to the Government.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to submit a proposal that complies with the proposal submission instructions described in Section 4 of this RFP. Before reviewing proposals under the stated evaluation factors, the Government will review proposals to ensure the Offeror materially and substantially complied with the proposal submission instructions as delineated in Section 4 before advancing into the proposal evaluation stage. If, based on this compliance review, the Government determines that a proposal does not materially and substantially comply with the proposal submission instructions and cannot be made compliant through clarifications, the proposal will not advance to the evaluation stage.

Rejection of a proposal on this basis does not constitute creation of a competitive range. Only proposals that are determined to materially and substantially comply with the proposal submission instructions will advance to the evaluation phase. Further, the offeror's proposal will not be eligible to receive award if it is found that the Offeror is not a "responsible company" in accordance with FAR 9.104. This responsibility determination will include the offeror having an active System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration.

The Source Selection Team will evaluate proposals against the following factors:

Technical/Management, Past Performance and Price.

These Factors and their Sub-Factors are listed in Table 1 in order of relative importance.

The Factors are listed in descending order of importance, with Technical being more important than Past Performance, all evaluation Factors other than Price, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The subfactors listed under the Technical Factor are listed in descending order of importance.

Table 2 defines criteria to evaluate/score Technical. Table 4 and Table 5d define criteria to evaluate/score Past Performance. Price will be evaluated but not scored. More detailed explanations for each of these are provided below.

FACTOR 2 PAST PERFORMANCE

Past Performance on projects submitted by the Offeror (and other past performance information obtained by the Government) shall be evaluated for: (i) recency of the past performance; and if found to be recent, (ii) relevancy of the past performance effort; and, if found to be recent and relevant, (iii) quality of the offeror's performance-based customer feedback on the following: technical performance and management performance.

The Offeror will receive neither a favorable nor an unfavorable rating if it does not have a performance history similar to the effort described in the RFP; however, the agency reserves the right to consider a past performance rating of substantial or satisfactory confidence more favorably than a neutral confidence rating.
