PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE INSTRUCTIONS

(Updated September, 2010)

Sections I through III provide for contract-related descriptive information and identification of the evaluator.

Section IV lists the major work elements within our Statement of Work (SOW). Please provide your assessment of the “relevant experience” and “performance” associated with our SOW evidenced within the contract for which you are a reference. Your assessment of the relevancy should reflect the fact that the principal purpose of our contract is for the performance of Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of selected software systems being developed by or for NASA and other Federal, State and local government agencies. Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) is a systems engineering process employing rigorous methodologies for evaluating the correctness and quality of the software system throughout the development life cycle (http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ivv/home/index.html).

“Significant Experience” means that a full range of services was routinely performed by the contractor under the associated SOW element. “Moderate Experience” describes a contractor who has experience in several aspects of a work element even though the experience may not have been on a continuous basis or directly related to the purpose of our contract. “Minimal Experience/Did not Perform” means that, although at least some aspects of the work may have been performed, such performance was limited in scope or frequency, or the work element was not performed under the contract.

Section V evaluates the contractor’s technical, schedule, and cost performance and management. (Additional pages may be used for comments if desired). It is very important to keep in mind that only performance in the past 5 years is relevant. If you cannot answer any questions, please circle “N/R” for Not Rated.

The following definitions are offered for your use in assigning a performance rating for each of the factors in Sections IV and V:

Very High

(VH)

The Offeror’s relevant past performance is of exceptional merit;

indicating exemplary performance in a timely, efficient, and economical manner; very minor (if any) problems with no adverse effect on overall performance.

(VL)
