Past_Performance_Criteria.pdf

Past Performance is a measure of the degree to which the Offeror has satisfied its customers in the past and complied with Federal, state and local laws and regulations. The Government may contact all or some of each Offeror's customers to obtain information. The PCO Representative may also use other information such as CPARS data available from Government sources to evaluate an Offeror's past performance.

The Government may also consider past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror, including Federal, State, and local Government agencies, Better Business Bureaus, published media and electronic databases. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact. References other than those identified by the Offeror may be contacted by the Government and the reference information received will be used in the evaluation of the Offeror's past performance. In the event that no responses from the Offeror's customers are received and the Government is unable to gather any other information, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Offerors who fail to include past performance information as requested in this part will be considered to be non-compliant which may render their proposal unacceptable for award.

The past performance information shall consist of no more than 6 pages total. These submissions shall be used by the Government to evaluate past performance. The Offeror shall list three relevant contracts and/or subcontracts (not limited to Government contracts) within the last five years that demonstrate the ability to handle requirements of the same scope, magnitude and complexity to that which is detailed in the PWS. Relevancy shall be based on the type of tasks performed, complexity and geographic dispersion.

Include contract numbers in the information provided if applicable. Include a discussion of how the references provided are relevant to the work being proposed.

For each contract (or Task Order), the Offeror shall identify

(i) Name contracting activity;

(ii) Contract number

(iii) Contract type;

(iv) The dollar amount of the contract (including options)

(v) Contract labor hours (including options)

(vi) The actual dollar amount funded

(vii) The actual labor hours (prime plus subcontractor) provided

(viii) The dates of award and of completion or termination

(ix) If terminated, the reason for termination (for Cause or for Convenience of the Government)

(x) The name of the requiring agency

(xi) The name, location, electronic mail address and phone number of the Contracting Officer, Administrative Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and Program Manager.

(xii) Involvement as prime or subcontractor

(xiii) The purpose of the contract and brief description

(xiv) Information on problems encountered on each identified contract and the Offeror's corrective action.

Additionally:

The Offeror shall identify any Government contract that has been terminated for Cause or Default within the past five years. For each terminated contract, identify (i) the contract number, (ii) the requiring agency, (iii) name and phone number of the contracting officer, and (iv) purpose of the contract.

The Offeror shall discuss the reasons for any price overruns; The Offeror shall discuss any claims or request for equitable adjustment and how they were resolved.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings: Past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis using the ratings below.

Acceptable

Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror's performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note:

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable." Aspects of Past Performance Evaluation. The past performance evaluation results are an assessment of the offeror's probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the offeror's record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate whether the offeror's present/past performance is relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is to determine how well the contractor performed on the contracts.

The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offeror's past performance on past contracts;

rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts.

Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.
