As per U.S. Government regulations, each solicitation is treated independently and all requested information must be provided each time, regardless of whether it has been provided in the past or if your company has previously contracted with the U.S. Government. Any vendor not providing all requested information will be deemed technically unacceptable and not considered eligible for award.

The Government may also use this data to evaluate the credibility of the offeror’s proposal. In addition, the Contracting Officer may use past performance information in making a determination of responsibility.
