The Government will evaluate past performance of the offeror’s team based on past projects, how current and how relevant the information is, and general trends in performance. The Government reserves the right to look outside the proposals for information concerning the past performance of the offeror. The Government will consider information submitted by the offeror and the offeror’s previous clients, along with any other relevant and reliable information obtained from other sources (including information from Government personnel and databases).

6. Your firm’s plan (in section I and II) will be evaluated on the development of percentage goals based on planned subcontracting which is challenging, yet realistic (FAR 19.705-4(d), DFARS 219.704(a)(1) and 219.705-4) Identify specific SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, HUBZone SBs, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned SB and Veteran-Owned SB firms you are planning to use as subcontractors, including the item or service or effort to be subcontracted. Indicate extent to which firms have participated in proposal preparation or otherwise indicate extent to which subcontracting to these firms may reasonably be assured. Your stated goals are realistic in view of actions stated in other portions of the plan. Your proposed percent of goal is reasonable in comparison with prior experience, yet indicates reasonable effort to improve on past experience in terms of dollars, number of SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, HUBZone SBs, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned SB and Veteran-Owned SB firms involved, and movement into area without previous SBs, SDBs, WOSBs, HUBZone SBs, Service Disabled Veteran-Owned SB and Veteran-Owned SB firm involvement.

(The SB and SDB goals in the subcontracting plan should approximate the ratio between the SB and SDB Government-wide goals.)

In cases where there has been no previous defense contract history, your firm will not be penalized. FAR 19.705-4(d)(1) and (d)(2)(iii), 19.706 and DFARS 219.706).
