15. Q. May we use an overarching IDIQ contract to indicate the capabilities of our team to provide breadth and magnitude. Within this IDIQ there is a Task order for Optical technicians but the KO on the IDIQ can only speak to the overarching IDIQ and cannot single out TOs, would this be acceptable?
A. Offerors shall complete and provide the Past Performance Information (PPI) Sheet

Offeror will complete or has completed within the past three (3) years from the closing date of this solicitation that the Offeror considers most relevant in demonstrating YOUR company’s (the Offeror’s) ability to perform the proposed effort. If the Offeror submits an ordering type contractual vehicle (for example, including but not limited to an Indefinite Delivery “D” type contract per FAR 16.5) where performance began only after issuance of a delivery/task order then the Offeror must provide the contract number, the delivery/task order number, the total contract dollar value, period of performance, type and complexity of services provided under that delivery/task order.
