Offerors shall submit contact information of 3 (three) previous customers to which they have sold similar item(s) within the last 5 years. The information shall include at a minimum a description of the item(s), agency/company name, contact name, position/title, phone number, and e-mail address.

Offerors shall have prior documented experience manufacturing a minimum of 3 (three) complex and close tolerance tooling over the full length of large aircraft assembly and disassembly fixtures (over 40 ft long). Detail specifications and tolerances are found in the drawing and model package.

Offerors shall have prior experience using laser tracker(s) for fabrication and validating fixtures used in the assembly of major aircraft components. A minimum of 3 (three) years of in-house laser tracker experience, and in-house ownership of laser tracker equipment is required.

Offerors shall have a minimum of 3 (three) years of experience with installation of fixtures similar to the size and scope of the subject fixture on hanger floors with varying stability. The contractor shall provide examples and outcome of such experiences.

The evaluators will review the vendor’s provided information regarding prior contracts for similar items; however, past performance information may be obtained from 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 Defense Contracting Management Agency.

The Past Performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. The assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertains to the product outlined in the solicitation requirement. The evaluation will consider recent and relevancy of past performance information in aspects of similarity of product, complexity, and dollar value. In addition, the evaluation will consider how well the offeror performed on previous contracts in the areas of quality of product, adherence to promised delivery schedules, and business relations.

Past performance will be evaluated as follows:

Acceptable- Based on the offer’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 below)

Unacceptable- Based on the offer’s performance record, the Government has no 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”-

(b) Proposals that do not conform to the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected without further evaluation, deliberation or discussion. The low priced, technically acceptable offer submitted by a responsible offeror will be awarded the contract.

(c) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.
