The offeror should also consider the level or amount of effort. Only past performance dealing with manufacture of same or similar frangible cartridges will be considered relevant. The offeror must detail (if using the

“related technology” as a reference) how the “related technology” is applicable to the solicited effort.

Should the offeror not explain how the related technology is applicable, the reference may not be considered relevant. If an offeror has no current or relevant past performance information, they should so state that in this volume.
