The quoter shall demonstrate recent and relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no recent and relevant past performance. Recent past performance is performance that has taken place within the past five years. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the stated period that is the same as or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least one year of completed performance prior to the closing date of this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five years and provide any other information the quoter considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Quoters should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply

Schedule (FSS). As one of its references of past performance, the quoter may submit a combination of up to three task orders issued from a single IDIQ or FSS contract, or a BPA.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow quoters who may not have the entire scope and magnitude of the requirement under one individual contract or order to still be evaluated for quality if past performance with the full scope and magnitude of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The quoter’s quote shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform.

(dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

Subcontractor performance (either the quoter’s own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractor’s experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the quoter.

If any of the referenced contracts were performed by an affiliate of the quoter, clearly explain the relationship between the quoter and the affiliate. Describe any resources shared by the quoter and its affiliate.

The quoter shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the quoter may continue onto another sheet of paper. The forms and any continuation sheet(s) for submitted references cannot exceed twelve pages.

In addition to the information requested above, quoters shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the attached “Past Performance Report Form” and e-mail the completed survey form directly to email to Lisa Morton at lisa.morton@navy.mil and Aaron Martin at aaron.b.martin2@navy.mil by the

CLOSING DATE AND TIME OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation, to contact references for verification or additional information, to contact references other than those provided by the quoter, and to obtain information from other data sources.

Services. Quoters shall use the periods established in the Schedule.

The firm-fixed price annual rates proposed in the pricing spreadsheet will be incorporated into the resultant contract.

Travel is anticipated. The Government has included a not-to-exceed travel amount in the Services Price

Worksheet for each performance period. Quoters shall propose the Government-provided not-to-exceed travel amounts in their price quotes and the Services Price Worksheet. Quoters shall apply any applicable

General and Administrative (G&A) and/or Overhead (OH) rates that may be applicable in accordance with

FAR Part 31 and the quoter’s accounting system. Only G&A and/or OH indirect costs are allowable if an quoter’s accounting system automatically applies them; no profit and/or fee are allowed. If no G&A and/or mailto:lisa.morton@navy.mil mailto:aaron.b.martin2@navy.mil

OH are proposed, the Government will determine that the quoter does not intend to apply these costs to travel during performance.

No ODCs are included within CLINs 0002 and 1002. For emergent tasking, CLINs 0002 and 1002 autocalculate to 10% of the base labor inputs within the Services Price Worksheet.
