There is no limit on the number of references. Page limitations are listed in the Table L2. The information shall be submitted in the following format:

v. 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 (or ‘neutral’) past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered ‘acceptable’.
