Questions received after the deadline may not be answered.

L.1.7. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements. Proposals shall clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the entire requirement and associated risks, has the resources necessary to meet the requirement, and a valid and practical solution for the requirement. Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the requirements, and statements paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information/narrative are considered inadequate and unsatisfactory. Mere reiteration of the requirement or standard reference material is discouraged and is considered inadequate and unsatisfactory. The Offeror shall include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems.

L.1.8. If the Offeror finds it necessary to take exception to any of the requirements specified in this solicitation, the Offeror shall clearly identify the applicable Volume and exceptions with a complete explanation of why the exception was taken, what benefit accrues to the Government (if any), and its impact, if any, on the performance, schedule, cost, and specific requirements of the solicitation. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Offerors are cautioned that taking an exception may render the offer ineligible for award. This information shall be provided in the format below.

L.1.9 If the Offeror’s proposal indicates that: it cannot or will not meet any of the PWS requirements; provides an approach that clearly does not meet any of the PWS requirements; or, includes data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror's compliance with any of the PWS requirements, the Government may determine the proposal is non-responsive, and therefore ineligible for award.

• SubFactor 2: Technical Approach for the STO

L.4.2. The offeror shall provide their approach to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The approach shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the nature and scope of all the work required in the STO PWS (Attachment 4, Suite 1 - 8(a) and Attachment 5, Suite 2 - SDVOSB).

L.5. VOLUME 3: FACTOR 5 – PAST PERFORMANCE.

L.5.1. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the Offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which are the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation.

L.5.2. The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it relates to the services being procured under this solicitation.

L.5.3. Past Performance information described herein is required on the Offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed. The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror's performance.

L.5.4. The Offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than three (3) years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

L.5.5. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the Offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and/or Fee Determining Officials. The past performance evaluation team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. See FAR 15.101-2(b)(1) for treatment of past performance relative to small business Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate Offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the Offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. 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 (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (or “neutral”) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “acceptable.”

L.5.6. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

•Table of Contents

•Summary Page: describe the role of the Offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner (collectively, partners) that will perform this requirement.

•Consent Letters: executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the Offeror can respond to such information

•Client Authorization Letters: for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance.

•Organization Structure Change History: Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company and your proposed partners over the past three years. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

•Specific Relevant Contracts Format. The offeror shall provide sheets in accordance with Attachment 2 and are limited to three pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation.

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

•Past Performance Questionnaire. See Attachment 3, Past Performance Questionnaire.
