j. Schedule constraints on Live Training Ranges

The Offeror’s description shall demonstrate that they have the requisite knowledge to successfully perform and complete such work in a timely manner.

M.3.2 FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

a. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to assess the Offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract’s requirements. In accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2), the recency and relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance will be considered. Past performance will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis using the ratings in Table M.2.

NOTE: Offeror refers to the proposed prime contractor, joint venture entity, affiliate / subsidiary / parent company.

Table M.2. Past Performance Acceptable / Unacceptable Rating Method Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

b. The Government will evaluate how well an Offeror has performed similar work before. The relevancy of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor’s performance will be considered. However, only performance on Recent and Relevant contracts will be considered in the evaluation.

c. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation, which the Government will evaluate in the following order:

1. Recency

2. Relevancy (including context of data), and

3. Quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source of information).

Recency. Recency is the time period during which past performance references are considered relevant and is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. Past Performance within five (5) years prior to the solicitation release date will be considered recent past performance for the purposes of this solicitation.

Relevancy. The Government will assess for relevant past performance in terms of scope.

For LTRaC MAC 2, relevant in scope means contracts performing work on the United States Military’s Live Training Range programs.

Quality. The Quality of Products or Services is the third aspect of the past performance evaluation and is done to establish the overall quality of the Offeror’s past performance. The past performance evaluation conducted in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the Offeror’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the Offeror performed those past contracts. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the Offeror’s performance, general trends, and usefulness of the information and incorporate these into the Offeror’s rating.

d. When assessing past performance, the Government will focus its inquiry on the past performance of the Offeror (prime / joint venture partners) as it relates to the solicitation requirements. These requirements include all aspects of schedule and performance, including the Offeror’s record of: 1) Quality; 2) Schedule; and 3) Management.

e. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror shall be considered “Acceptable”.

f. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources but is not compelled to rely on all the information available.

g. Offerors may provide information on problems encountered on the contracts identified in their past performance submissions and the Offerors’ corrective actions (FAR 15.305). In accordance with FAR 15.306, the Offeror may be given the opportunity to discuss adverse past performance information obtained from any questionnaire if they have not previously responded through Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar system. However, the names of individuals providing the information shall not be disclosed. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating from sources where the information is from other than formal rating systems such as Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). Any such exchanges are Clarifications, and do not constitute discussions.
