SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.4 EVALUATION PROCESS

M.4.1 Past performance information is evaluated as a predictor of future contract performance. The U.S. Government will assess the degree of confidence it has that the Offeror will successfully complete the requirements in accordance with the contract terms based on the Offeror's demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance.

M.4.2 Recent contracts: See L.4.3.2.1

M.4.3 Relevancy Ratings: See L.4.3.2.2

M.4.4 in conducting the past performance evaluation, the Government may use information obtained from other sources, or may use information with regard to other projects/contracts performed by the Offeror which it has knowledge, whether or not those projects/contracts are disclosed to the Government by the Offeror.

M.4.5 In evaluating performance history, the Government may review the Offeror’s current and prior performance record of complying with all aspects of its contractual agreement: quality of performance, products and services; timeliness of performance; operations management; subcontractor management; problem resolution and, if applicable; cost control.

M.4.6 The U.S. Government may consider the recency, degree of relevance, source, and context of the past performance information it evaluates as well as quality, general trends in performance, and demonstrated corrective actions. A significant achievement, problem, problem resolution, or lack of relevant data in any element can become an important consideration in the assessment process. A negative finding in any element may have an impact on the assessment and the Overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating.

M.4.7 The relevancy of the past performance information will be determined as follows:

· Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same, similar or some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

· Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

M.4.8. Offeror’s Past Performance will be rated as follows:

· Acceptable: Based on the Offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

· Unacceptable: Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record; the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Absent any recent and relevant past performance history, the offeror will be determined to have unknown past performance and the Offeror’s proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In the context of acceptability/ unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

The Government is not required to interview all points of contact identified by the Offeror. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to provide complete past performance information and thorough explanations as required by Section L. The Government is not obliged to make another request for the required information.
