AMEND PART X.(b)(10) - delete (10) in its entirety and replace it with the following:

(10) Offerors are requested to provide information on up to three (3) previous Government contracts whose effort is/was recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

a. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years. If the offeror has not had three (3) Government contracts within the last three

(3) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

b. “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

i. Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the PWS.

ii. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

iii. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the PWS. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

PART X(c): MODIFY TO READ: "Unless offeror proposes a shorter period, by submission of an offer, offeror agrees that its offer, including any timely revisions thereto, shall remain valid until the Government makes award under this solicitation. The forgoing does not preclude an offeror from withdrawing its offer prior to award."

AMEND PART XI(a), first sentence to read as follows:

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror (See Note (1) below) whose technically acceptable proposal with acceptable past performance represents the lowest price to the Government.

NOTE (1): It is emphasized that as an integral part of the award selection a responsibility determination of the offeror will be made in accordance with FAR Part 9.104. Within this determination, the Government will only consider an offeror responsible if it presents a viable, continued capacity to fully provide the contracted services in accordance with the charter, regardless of operating conditions (e.g., conflict or contingency operations). This will be determined using the factors shown in FAR Part 9.104, to include: 1) experience, 2) operational controls, 3) technical skills, 4) satisfactory performance record, and 5) ability to comply with required delivery schedule."

AMEND PART XI. (d) (a)(b)(c) delete in its entirety and replace it with the following:

Past Performance. Offerors will be evaluated on their performance under existing and prior contracts for similar services and as otherwise detailed in the solicitation. Information obtained from references listed in proposals, other customers known to the Government, and other sources of useful and relevant information will be considered.

(A) At a minimum, award will not be made to an offeror who is or within the past three years has been seriously deficient in contract performance, unless the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances were properly beyond the offeror’s control or that the offeror took appropriate corrective action.

(B) If discussions are held, offerors will be given the opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance.

(C) Offerors without a past performance history relating to this solicitation shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.
