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 to support all the science disciplines within Code 600, including, but not limited to, the study of the Earth, the sun, our solar system and the universe. Research and information technology support services includes scientific data analysis and visualization, modeling and simulation of physical processes, development and testing of flight project instrument and data systems, field experiments, development and operations of large-scale data management, archival and delivery systems, systems analysis, and programming; and includes engineering, technology, research and development, network engineering, and education and public outreach.

“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 management, technical, schedule, and cost performance. (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.

High

(H)

The Offeror’s relevant past performance demonstrates very effective performance that would be fully responsive to contract requirements with contract requirements accomplished in a timely, efficient, and economical manner for the most part with only minor problems with little identifiable effect on overall performance.

Moderate

(M)

The Offeror’s relevant past performance demonstrates effective performance; fully responsive to contract requirements; reportable problems, but with little identifiable effect on overall performance.

Low

(L)

The Offeror’s relevant past performance meets or slightly exceeds minimum acceptable standards; adequate results; reportable problems with identifiable, but not substantial, effects on overall performance.

Very Low

(VL)

The Offeror’s relevant past performance does not meet minimum acceptable standards in one or more areas; remedial action required in one or more areas; problems in one or more areas which, adversely affect overall performance.

N/R Not Rated

Section VI provides for evaluation of the contractor’s management of cost and award/incentive fee history.
