Offerors shall define the relationship of the company whose past performance is submitted for evaluation to the performance of this requirement in the offeror’s response in Block 12 - Relevancy Rationale of Attachment 6 - Specific Relevant Contracts Reference Sheet. The Government will not consider experience of subcontractors and/or subordinate or affiliated offices of the offeror, unless the offeror clearly demonstrates the proposed involvement of the subcontractors and/or the offeror’s subordinate or affiliated offices in this requirement. The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, joint venture partner, and/or affiliates, 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 (Attachment 4), authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

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 from the date in Block 5 of the SF33. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

This volume shall be organized into the following sections:

(1) Section 1 – Contract Descriptions. This section shall include the following information in the following format.

(a) Contractor/Subcontractor place of performance, CAGE Code and DUNS Number. If the work was performed as a subcontractor, also provide the name of the prime contractor and POC within the prime contractor organization (name, and current address, e-mail address, and telephone and fax numbers).

(b) Government contracting activity, and current address, Procuring KO’s name, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers.

A specific narrative explanation of each, describing the objectives achieved and detailing how the effort is relevant to the requirement of this RFP will be provided in the Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheet (see (5) below).

(3) Section 3 - Organizational 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. 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.

(4) Section 4 – Partner Consent / Client Authorization Letters.

Partner Consent Letters will be executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, joint venture partner, and/or affiliates authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. A sample partner consent letter is included as Attachment 5, Section J of this Solicitation.

Client Authorization Letters (Attachment 4, Section J of this Solicitation) will be submitted for each identified effort of a customer, authorizing release of requested information on the offeror’s performance to the Government.

(5) Section 5 – Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheet. Sheets shall be IAW the format provided in Attachment 6, Section J of this Solicitation and are limited to five (5) 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 of work, size, scope, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include, in Block 12, rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, scope 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. This rational shall also demonstrate the relationship between the offeror and of the company whose past performance has been submitted for consideration; specifically, how said company will provide meaningful performance on this requirement. The offeror shall submit a minimum of three (3) but no more than a total of eight (8) Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial. Limits on Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets are as follows:

-Three (3) sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for the prime, team, and/or joint venture.

-Two (2) sheets from each subcontractor who will be completing 20% or more of the technical work.

New corporate entities may submit data on prior contracts involving its offices and employees. However, in addition to the other requirements in this section, the offeror shall discuss in detail the role performed by such persons in the prior contracts cited.

Information should be included in the files described in the sections above. Letters of Commitment shall be included in the proposal for these employees in order to be considered.

(6) Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). For all contracts identified in Section 1, Contract Descriptions, a PPQ (Attachment 3, Section J of this Solicitation) must be completed and submitted. The offeror shall complete Part I of the PPQ and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government Contracting Activity and technical representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete Part II of the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date, to william.m.jaeger.civ@army.mil. The offeror shall e-mail to the KO / CS a list of all the POCs who were sent a questionnaire. The Government must receive this list no later than the proposal due date. The POC List shall be submitted in Word for Windows Table Format to include the following fields: Solicitation Number; Company Name;

Contract Number; Government Agency; POC Last Name, First Name; POC Title; POC Telephone Number; POC E-mail Address; and Date E-Mail to POC by January 13, 2022.

Any questionnaires not returned directly to the CS will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. If any negative past performance information is received on the PPQs, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that questionnaires cannot be provided. The offeror is responsible for ensuring that the CS has received all PPQs prior to that date/time.

(7) Submissions. Offerors are discouraged from providing points of contact with another contractors’ facility, i.e., in case an offeror (or one of his/her team members) is in a subcontract with another contractor who has submitted a proposal on the same requirement. Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency POCs in lieu of subcontract numbers or prime contract POCs in situations as described above.

Also, the offeror shall ensure that the information submitted in this volume is consistent with and fully supports the amounts set forth in the SF33 and continuation sheets.

(3) General Instructions. A request for Certified Cost or Pricing Data is not anticipated for the award of this contract since adequate competition is expected;
