The Coast Guard intends to review the National Institutes of Health Contracting Performance System (NIH-CPS) ratings of an offeror’s performance of relevant contracts. If the Coast Guard cannot obtain adequate NIH-CPS rating information regarding a particular offeror, the Coast guard may review other relevant past performance information from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. The Coast Guard reserves the right to review other relevant past performance information from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. General trends in a contractor’s performance will also be considered. Additionally, when subcontractors perform significant parts of the effort, their past performance may also be evaluated. Each offeror has the opportunity to provide in its proposal any information regarding its past performance of contracts similar to the Coast Guard’s requirement that it would like the Coast Guard to consider. Such information may be in the nature of additional information to that which the Coast Guard has readily available, or which has already been rated under the NIH-CPS system, or which the offeror considers essential to the Coast Guard’s evaluation or explanatory information of substandard or poor performance and the corrective actions taken to prevent a recurrence. The Coast Guard reserves the right to verify statements and representations made in offeror’s proposal. Incomplete data will not be considered. Offerors that represent newly formed entities, without prior contract experience, should list previous contract and subcontract experience, as required above, for all personnel identified in the proposal.
