The Quoter shall provide information on no more than three (3) previous contracts whose effort was relevant to the effort required by this solicitation; the contracts provided shall demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance and have been performed within the last five (5) years from the solicitation closing date of this Request for Quote (RFQ). Evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. Yet-to-be performed work and experience prior to the last five (5) years will not be considered

For purposes of this solicitation, a purchase order is defined as a single purchase order or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal

Supply Schedule. Quoters shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference. Quoters may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the quoter shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance. References with less than twelve (12) consecutive months of service will not be considered.

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement shall be stated. The quoter’s submittal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform may not be evaluated.

If the prime contractor or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past

Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall purchase order effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

The past performance of subcontractors who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as a prime contractor’s past performance.

If the prime contractor or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past

Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall purchase order effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

Failure of Quoters to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated. [With respect to joint ventures, the procuring activity will consider work done individually by each member of the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously. Joint venture references must meet the temporal requirements described in FAR 52.212-1, “Instruction to Quoters Commercial Products and

Commercial Services” (within five years and a year of completed performance). Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed in that effort and the magnitude (dollar value) of that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort for that reference may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.]

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 12 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 Gilbert Dobison at gilbert.k.dobison.civ@us.navy.mil by the CLOSING DATE AND TIME OF THIS
