1a) For the "Past Performance questionnaire", is this document required to be completed for the current year, the base period of this proposal, or is this meant for the option years?

The Past Performance Questionnaire can be completed for any past work and/or contracts you have completed. The document will not be applied to any specific portion of the prospective contract that may be awarded from solicitation SB1341-16-RQ-0802.

1b) If this is required in my proposal for the base period, since some of my current and previous work has included contracting with the NIST Time and Frequency Division (TFD), are they a "client" as referenced in the questionnaire?

Any of your past clients may complete the Past Performance Questionnaire.

1c) Do I complete blocks 1-4 of attachment C, submit the questionnaire to the TFD, ask them to fill out blocks 5-8 and the questionnaire on pages 5-7, then submit the signed version along with my quote?

You may submit the questionnaires directly, or previous clients may forward them directly to the Contracting Officer.

2) It looks like I am required to sign the document "RFQ SB1341-16-RQ-0802" on page 1 of 31. Can I simply sign that page and submit only that one page?

Yes.
