September 2012 revision that are of a similar or directly related scope, magnitude and complexity to that described in the solicitation and as defined below. Note that the Government reserves the right to evaluate submitted projects individually or in the aggregate in order to determine relevance and will do so consistently across all evaluated offers. The Government will also consider the quality of the Contractor’s relevant past performance. Information provided in response to this factor will assist the Government in determining the degree of risk associated with award of this project to the Contractor in question based upon that Contractor’s past and present performance on other relevant projects. In addition, the Contracting Officer may use past performance information as one of the components in making a determination of responsibility.

B. The Contractor shall submit up to a maximum of three (3) projects for evaluation. Where contractor teaming arrangements (as defined at FAR Subpart 9.6) are proposed, an additional up to a maximum of three (3) projects for a partner or each subcontractor shall be submitted.

For each submitted project, the Contractor shall include references, using the form at Attachment 3, to provide the requested past project information. An evaluation of relevance will be done for no more than three (3) projects submitted by the Contractor for itself and for no more than three (3) projects submitted for a partner or each subcontractor. The Contractor is therefore cautioned to submit only its three (3) most relevant efforts and is cautioned to submit only the three (3) most relevant efforts of its partner or subcontractors.

The three (3) reviewed for each entity will be the first three (3) as displayed within the proposal from front to back.

The Contractor shall instruct the customer representative to complete the questionnaire and return it, by the RFP submission due date, directly to Carlos Stewart by email (preferred) at carlos.stewart@ice.dhs.gov and westccg@ice.dhs.gov or, by mail to Carlos Stewart at U.S. Department of Homeland, FPS 32125 32nd Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98001.
