Untimely submitted questionnaires may not be considered.

The Offeror is reminded that both independent data and data provided by the Offeror in its proposal may be used by the Government to evaluate past performance. One method the Government uses to investigate past performance is to read the questionnaires submitted by the Offeror and, if it chooses, to interview the points of contact provided by Offeror, and to consult the Governments past performance information computer systems listed below. The Government does not assume a duty to conduct deeper investigations, but reserves the right to do so if it chooses.

The Government will consider only objective evidence of past performance, not rumors or unsubstantiated assertions. The Government will read past performance information submitted by Offerors and attempt to verify it using the methods indicated in this paragraph.

Unverifiable assertions will be considered, but may carry little weight. This subfactor will be evaluated on an assessment of the probability that the instant requirements will successfully be completed IAW the contract terms. In addition to the data provided by the Offeror, the Government may utilize the Federal Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), information provided by the

Offeror and/or references, and any other information available to determine the quality and relevance of the Offerors past performance.

However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current information as requested herein remains with the Offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested within this solicitation risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. In the event that an Offeror has no past performance history, the Offeror may submit past performance information for key personnel proposed to perform the contract requirements, if available.

7 14

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

For the purpose of submitting proposals, recent is defined as occurring within the past three (3) years prior to the solicitations initial closing date. Relevant is defined as same or similar actions in terms of size, complexity, scope, and contract type performed under previously awarded contracts. Offerors shall provide a brief narrative explanation of how/why past performance is relevant; however, the Government reserves the right to determine whether an item/service is the same or similar. The Offeror will also provide any records from previous customers relating to their service performance.

L. 7. VOLUME IV - PRICE FACTOR. Proposed fixed unit rate / fully burdened hourly labor rates will be used by the Government to calculate the total evaluated price and award of the Base Year and exercise of any option year(s). The offeror shall provide proposed prices as follows:

L.7.1. The proposal shall include prices for all CLINs as reflected in Section B of the solicitation. Fixed Unit Rate(s) /

Accordingly, the Offeror must propose a Fixed Unit Rate for Billeting, which must include the monthly housing cost per person, in the event that Government provided billeting is not available.

L.7.2. Offerors shall provide a completed Price Matrix (Attachment 0002 of the solicitation). Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Fixed

L.7.5. Any significant inconsistency between promised performance and proposed prices should be explained in the proposal. The Price

Matrix is supplied. All other information to support pricing shall be provided in the narrative of Price Volume IAW Section L. For example, if the use of new and innovative techniques has an impact on the proposed price, the offeror shall explain the impact on price.

If a management decision has been made to absorb a portion of the program costs that have not been included in the proposed pricing, that decision should be stated and quantified in the proposal. Any significant inconsistency, if not explained, raises a fundamental issue of the offerors understanding of the nature and scope of the work required. The burden of proof as to price credibility rests with the offeror.
