L.5.1. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or 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.

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 the last three (3) years from issuance of the solicitation 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), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARs), or other databases; and may be obtained from other sources available to the Government, and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, 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 describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 4.

• 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— 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.

• Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets in accordance with Technical Exhibit 4 (in the SOW) and are limited to 3 page 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.

L.6. VOLUME 3: FACTOR 3 – Price.

L.6.1. This volume shall contain all required pricing information described below. The Offeror shall not include pricing information in any Volumes 1, 2, or 4 of its proposal.

L.6.2. It is expected that all contracts awarded will be based upon adequate price competition; therefore, the Offeror is not required to provide certified cost/pricing data with its proposal. If, after receipt of the proposals, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist in accordance with FAR 15.403-1, the Offeror shall provide certified cost/pricing data as requested by the Contracting Officer. Similarly, if the contracting officer determines a fair and reasonable price cannot be established with price analysis alone, the offeror may be asked, and shall then provide, other than certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and/or FAR 15-404-1(a).

L.6.3 Contractor Pricing. The Offeror is required to complete Attachment 3 – Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet. The offeror shall submit their approach for accomplishing the Project from commencement to completion. The approach shall describe the Offeror’s understanding of the work required utilized the SOW, specifications, and drawings.

L.6.3.1. When completing the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet the offeror shall provide their fully burdened hourly rate, inclusive of profit, for each labor category listed. Offerors are reminded that it is the responsibility of the offeror to submit complete and accurate proposal amounts.

L.6.3.2. The Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet calculates an aggregate total which will be the Evaluated Price.

L.6.3.4. The Offeror shall identify on the Price Proposal Breakdown Worksheet if each labor category is subject to the Davis-Bacon Act.

L.6.3.5. The fully burdened labor rates proposed for each year cannot be adjusted except for instances where the labor categories are subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and a revision is permitted under the provisions of FAR Clause 52.222-43. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to include inflation where warranted.

L.6.3.6. Should the contract be issued to the offeror, the proposed rates provided will become the maximum rate allowable (ceiling rate) for that labor category when pricing the contract and contract modifications.
