Specifically, ability to perform the work in the time frame identified in the period of performance info.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-2. Past Performance will be rated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. The apparent successful, prospective contractor must have acceptable past performance. Government wide Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) at www.ppirs.gov shall be considered as part of the past performance evaluation process. Any contractor with past performance less than satisfactory will be rated as ‘unacceptable’. Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”.

Quotes shall be ranked in order of lowest price to highest price. Award will be made to the lowest price quote that is Technically Acceptable.
