The offerors must also provide to USAID the name and contact information of clients to whom they have referred the Past Performance Report. If the award noted in the table is in PPIRS, that notation can be provided instead of the past performance report noted in this solicitation. USAID prefers past performance questionnaires from all RELEVANT awards that should be those listed in the past experience matrix. These questionnaires should be prepared by the clients if the information is not housed in PPIRS. However, a minimum of five questionnaires total should be provided, from the most recent of those clients listed in the matrix, IF those questionnaires are not in PPIRS.

The Government reserves the right to verify the experience and past performance record of cited projects or other recent projects by reviewing Contractor Performance Reports (CPRs), other performance reports, or to interview cited references or other persons knowledgeable of the offeror’s performance on a particular project. The Government may check any or all cited references to verify supplied information and/or to assess reference satisfaction with performance. Offerors will be provided an opportunity to explain circumstances surrounding less than satisfactory performance reports if not previously provided the opportunity.

If offerors or their proposed Subcontractors encountered problems on any of the referenced contracts, they may provide a short explanation and the corrective action taken. Offerors must not provide general information on their performance.

Offerors may describe any quality award or certification that indicates exceptional capacity to provide the service or product described in the statement of work. This information should be included in the Annexes and is not subject to the page limitation.

Offerors must either provide the above information or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant, directly related or similar past performance. Similar statements also are required for any proposed major Subcontractors having no past performance history.

The offeror should submit its best proposal initially as the Government reserves the right to evaluate proposals and make an award without discussions (except clarifications) as described in FAR 15.306(a). Additionally, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions should the Contracting Officer deem it necessary.
