Attachment 16 SOL Questions and Answers.pdf

1. Who is required to submit a PPI questionnaire? Who fills out the PPI questionnaire?

a. PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (PPI) PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

(1) The offeror shall provide PPI for up to 3 contracts where they were the prime or a subcontractor performing the same or similar services within the last 2 years. Within the three-contract limit, the contractor can also provide principal subcontractor past performance.

(2) For each contract, provide: a valid name and telephone number, contract number, contract type, dollar value, contract award date and completion date, description of work performed, and name and e-mail address of a point of contact. If submitting a contract performed as a subcontractor, include information on the extent of the work performed in relation to the contract as a whole. The description of work performed for each contract shall be in sufficient detail to explain how it is the same or similar to the requirements of the instant solicitation in areas such as number of pickup locations, complexity, scope, and magnitude of the services to determine the relevancy of the referenced work. Additionally, if performance deficiencies occurred, the offeror shall identify what the deficiencies were and detail what corrective action they took, if any. Offerors may meet these requirements by including a completed page 2 of the questionnaire within Volume II of their offer.

(3) If an offeror elects to provide principal subcontractor past performance, the offeror shall provide the principal subcontractor’s consent allowing the Government to disclose negative past performance information to the offeror.

(4) The Government will evaluate up to three contracts submitted by the offeror. If an offeror identifies more than three contracts in its past performance proposal, the Government will evaluate the first three contracts in the order listed in the offeror’s past performance proposal. Current or past contracts with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Disposition Services will not be used for evaluation unless they are identified in the past performance proposal (See II (2) of “Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation,” Evaluation of Past Performance, for exception of using PPI for contracts not identified).

(5) Attachment 15 contains a PPI questionnaire that is used to evaluate an offeror’s past performance. The offeror shall provide the PPI questionnaire in

Attachment 16 to the past performance reference for contracts it identifies in its proposal. The past performance reference must independently submit the completed PPI questionnaire to the point of contact listed in the solicitation for submittal of offers prior to the closing date of the solicitation. A completed PPI questionnaire for a reference is not required for any DLA Disposition Services Hazardous Waste Disposal contract that is included in an offeror’s past performance proposal. The Government will not consider in an offeror’s evaluation any completed PPI questionnaire received after the date offers are due or directly from the offeror for that reference in the past performance evaluation unless the Government has other past performance data readily available (See II (2) of “Addenda to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation,” Evaluation of Past Performance) to evaluate the reference. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their references submit PPI questionnaires directly to the point of contact listed in the solicitation for submittal of offers; the Government will not be contacting references to obtain a questionnaire/survey on behalf of the offeror.

(6) The submission of a past performance Volume II is required from all offerors. If offerors do not have any past performance, they must at least identify a Volume II in their proposal and state they do not have any past performance to provide. Otherwise, they may be considered non-responsive and excluded from the competition. If the Government only receives a completed PPI questionnaire from a past performance reference and there is no information in an offeror’s proposal regarding that reference, the reference will not be evaluated or considered as a reference for the offeror’s past performance proposal.

2. The extension period of the CLIN N63101 (Waste Management Services, Naval Station Rota) is 1 month. Shouldn't it be 30 months? Is this a mistake?

a. Option period CLIN N63101 is correct, Waste management services after the 1st month of the option period will no longer be considered a requirement and will cease to be part of the contract.
