The Government reserves the right to eliminate from award consideration any or all quotes at any time prior to award of the contract(s) that do not conform to the solicitation and to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range.

Sources of past performance evaluation information include information provided by the Offeror in response to the solicitation, information obtained from questionnaires, and 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 Systems, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System, or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

III. DEFINITIONS

A. EVALUATION RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings: More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance assessment rating than past performance of lesser relevance.

The Government will employ the Performance Assessment Rating Method described in the table below.

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 (or "neutral") past performance. In the context of Acceptability/Unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered "acceptable."

Deviations from the RFQ minimum/maximum requirements are NOT allowed and the Offeror’s quote for that Item No that deviates from the RFQ will be determined non-responsive and not eligible for award.

The RFQ does not commit the Government to make any award. The Government may cancel or resolicit this RFQ or any part of it at any time. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject any and all quotations and to waive any information, or minor irregularities in quotations received.

A written notice of award, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the 60 day window for quote validity, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
