55. Your requirements for past performance references are very unusual and demanding, compared to other RFPs and RFQs. For instance, for all contracts that do not have CPARS reports, we are required to have the Past Performance Questionnaire completed and submitted by three different individuals. And, if the contract does have CPARS report, but it is over 6 months old, we are required to have the questionnaire completed by the Program Manager. It is unlikely that many vendors - if any - will be able to meet these requirements. They appear to be constructed to limit open and fair competition. We respectfully request that you allow vendors to submit past performance examples that include one Point of Contact and corresponding contact information.
