• Proposed team members (i.e. prime contractors, subcontractors, Joint Venture (JV) members, Limited Liability Company (LLC) members, and Limited Liability Partners (LLP) partners) with a demonstrated history of working together on prior projects may be considered more favorably than those without such history.

Submission Requirements:

Submit a maximum of six (6) projects completed within the past 10 years immediately preceding the date of the issuance of this notice that best demonstrate the specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas outlined above. For projects demonstrating design experience, the design portion of the work is to be completed. For projects demonstrating construction surveillance experience, the construction portion of the work is to be completed. Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. If more than six (6) projects are submitted, the Government will evaluate the first six (6) projects listed in Part I, Section F and disregard any other project information.

All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team members proposed to manage and perform work under this contract.

Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation.

To enable verification, firms should include the Unique Entity Identifier number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part 1, Section F, block 25, “Firm Name”. Include a contract number or project identification number in block 21. Include an e-mail address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c). In block 24, include in the project description the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. For projects performed as a subcontractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

The submission shall include a discussion of who executed the project as pertinent to demonstrating specialized experience. For projects performed as a subcontractor, a joint venture or a limited liability company (LLC) involving different partners or member companies, specifically indicate the percentage of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

If the firm is a joint venture or an LLC, projects performed by the joint venture or LLC should be submitted. However, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture or LLC, projects may be submitted for either joint venture partner or LLC member company, not to exceed a total of six (6) relevant projects.

A subcontractor's or subconsultant's specialized experience on a design-bid-build project will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the joint venture partner(s)/LLC member company.

For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is considered a project, as is a standalone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ contract as an example project. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract.
