The

Government evaluation will focus only on work experience already performed. Yet-to-be performed work and experience prior to the last three (3) years will not be considered. Offerors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this RFP.

The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews and existing data sources to include but not limited to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. This past performance information will be used for the evaluation of past performance. If subcontractor contracts are submitted, the offer must clearly indicate the percentage of work that the subcontractor(s) will perform under each task/category of effort throughout the course of the contract. If subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) contracts or efforts the subcontractor past performance will be given weight relative to the amount of effort under the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. Therefore, the offeror’s proposal should clearly detail the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. Offerors may also provide references where they have performed as a subcontractor. If past performance as a subcontractor is provided as part of the three (3) contracts or efforts, it will be given weight relative to the amount of effort performed under that contract. Past

Performance submission is limited to nine 9 pages (3 pages per reference contract). Information provided beyond nine (9) pages will not be considered. This does not include questionnaires.

Past Performance shall, at a minimum, provide the following information:

Contract Period of Performance

Program Name

In the description of work, Offerors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts in terms of scope and magnitude and complexity, to the requirements of the RFP for purposes of the relevancy.

Offerors to this solicitation shall provide Past Performance Information Questionnaires (Attachment J18) to their customers for completion for up to three (3) contracts within the last three (3) years involving same or similar efforts. Each proposal shall include no more than a total of three (3) Past Performance Information

Questionnaires, one per contract identified on Attachment J17, Past Performance Information Form. Offerors shall complete the Past Performance Information Form for each customer and include it as part of their proposal.

The Past Performance Information Form shall not exceed three (3) pages per reference contract.

Separately, the Offeror shall complete the first page of the Past Performance Questionnaire and then provide the entire Past Performance Questionnaire to each customer for them to complete their assessment. Customer evaluation on the Past Performance Questionnaires will not be included as part of the page count in this volume submitted by the Offeror. The Offeror shall instruct their customers to complete the Past Performance

Questionnaires and return them to Susan Rosquist at susan.rosquist@navy.mil and Monica Hill-Turner at monica.hill-turner@navy.mil by the closing date of this solicitation.

The Offeror’s proposal shall identify the customer point of contact and which of the listed contacts that each questionnaire was sent to be completed for. This will let the Contracting Officer know whether all questionnaires from all of the Offeror’s references were received.

Offerors may inquire as to the status of receipt of these questionnaires using the e-mail addresses shown above.

For Past Performance information that has a completed CPARS evaluation in PPIRS, the offeror is only required to complete the Past Performance Information Form, Attachment J17. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure that completed questionnaires are in the Contracting Officer's possession ON OR BEFORE THE REQUIRED

PROPOSAL DUE DATE AND TIME. Any questionnaire received after the proposal due date/time will be late and may not be considered in the Offeror’s past performance evaluation. The Government, at its discretion, will determine whether or not questionnaires received after the proposal due date will be considered. The

Government may validate past performance information with the source.

If the Offeror possesses no relevant past performance, it should affirmatively state this fact in their proposal.

Failure to submit the completed narratives on the Past Performance Information Form, Attachment J17, shall be considered certification (by signature on the proposal) that the Offeror has no past performance for like or similar efforts for the Government to evaluate.
