L.4 Evaluation Factors

Offeror proposals shall address the following two Factors

L.4.1 Past Performance

L.4.1.1 For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for a maximum of up to 3 recent and relevant contracts performed by the offeror or the offerors subcontractor(s). The subcontractor may submit up to a maximum of 1 recent and relevant contract. The offerors or offerors subcontractors recent and relevant contracts may include federal, state, local and private industry contracts. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractors Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.4 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of

Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), 10 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

*L.4.1.2

(a) Recent Contracts are those performed within 3 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

(b) Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

i. Conduct, evaluate and support corrosion prevention, problem resolution and control technology for research, development, testing and engineering projects for weapons systems (see PWS 2.4.1).

ii. Review, update and validate plans, monitoring and testing of corrosion prevention technologies, including modifications to military specifications and standards, logistics products, maintenance programs, and corrosion maintenance documentation (see 2.2.3 and 2.4.4)

iii. Support of US Military ground vehicle corrosion assessment and associated technical writing, and CPC logistics (maintenance, materials and methods) for sustainment and research, development, testing and engineering (RDT&E) programs. (See 2.2.1 2.2.2 and 2.3.3)

(c) Quality will consider the CPARS and PPIRS records of the Offerors.

L.4.1.3 Contract Information: Refer to the definition of a Contract above (L.4.1). The offerors proposal shall substantiate what distinct effort was required and actually performed under each of the proposed Contract(s). For each Contract(s) submitted, provide the following information:

(a) Prime Contractor name and address;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

(c) Contract Type;

(d) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(e) Delivery or Performance Schedule;

(f) Government or private industry contracting activity address, telephone number and e-mail;

(g) Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO) and/or Contract Specialists name, or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the Contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(h) Government (DCMA) or private industry administrative contracting officer (ACO), contracting officers representative (COR), performance certifier, and/or quality assurance representative (QAR), name, telephone number and email;

(i) Specify the Government or Contractor Point(s) of Contact for which the Questionnaire was sent, and provide the date(s) it was sent.

(j) A description of the work performed by the offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1) the relevant work performed under the statement of work requirements of the offerors cited Contract(s) and (2) the statement of work requirements identified in L.4.1.2. In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contracts statement of work

(to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(k) Contract period of performance;

(l) Provide a self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and Schedule requirements; and

(m) Copy of the Performance Work Statement or Scope of Work for each of the submitted Contracts. If the proposed Contract was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. Indefinite Delivery Contracts, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed Contract are further defined within the terms and conditions (e.g. statement of work) of that related written instrument, provide that information any other information necessary to establish the relationship this instruments relationship to the proposed Contract. (These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments within the proposal volume).

L.4.1.4 Associated Entity, Predecessor Company, Joint Venture, and Subcontractors. As stated above (L.4.1), only Contracts performed by the named offeror or offerors subcontractor will be considered. However, the Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity, a predecessor company, or joint venture as explained below:

L.4.1.4.1 Associated Entity. The Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity if the offeror successfully demonstrates meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the associated entity will provide to the proposed effort i.e. the work to be performed by the associated entity. Evidence of meaningful involvement may include a description of the associated entitys resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.4.2 Predecessor Company. The Government may consider the past performance of a predecessor company if the offeror demonstrates the experience of the predecessor company is reasonably predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort.

The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the predecessor company. The offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the offerors status as the successor company.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains why the predecessors past performance is predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, successful continued performance or completion of predecessors work, continuity of operations such as the continued employment of the predecessors employees and the transfer of assets including buildings, furnishings, and fixtures.

L.4.1.4.3 Individual Partners of a Joint Venture.
