c. First article testing.

d. Material acquisition, identifying long lead item

e. Fabrication.

f. Inspection and testing.

g. Delivery of hardware in accordance with Government schedule.

h. Preparation and delivery of Data Items in accordance with Government schedule.

Volume II - PAST PERFORMANCE (Factor 2) (No Page Limit)

Past performance information shall be provided for the prime and all subcontractors in order to develop an Offeror's past performance rating. Past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror's (to include prime and subcontractors) ability to perform the contract successfully. In the evaluation of an Offeror's past performance, the Government reserves the right to use relevant performance within the past five years. Relevant and timely past performance information in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), including the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) will be considered during the evaluation of an Offeror's past performance.

Using the Past Performance Matrix (as listed in Section J), the Offeror and all subcontractors shall provide a separate list of relevant contracts that were performed within the last five years. Contracts that are listed in CPARS are preferred. The list for the Prime shall contain no more than seven relevant contracts. In addition, each subcontractor shall complete a separate matrix and provide no more than seven relevant contracts. The identified relevant contracts shall focus on performance that is relevant to the current solicitation requirement (i.e., JAU-8/A25 Initiator) cited in the Scope of this solicitation. Relevancy includes similarity of item, complexity and dollar value. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

If the Offeror has no relevant past performance within the last five years or cannot provide a list of relevant contracts, then the Offeror must provide an explanation.

Past Performance Questionnaires (as listed in Section J) only apply to relevant contracts for which performance information is not available through CPARS. The Offeror and subcontractors shall submit the Past Performance Questionnaire to all of their references listed on the Past Performance Matrix that have NO CPARS contracts and shall request the references to complete the Past Performance Questionnaire. Surveys should be emailed to:
