CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY, PREAWARD SURVEY:

In order to determine a contractor's responsibility for purposes of contract award in accordance with FAR

Part 9.104, the contractor is required to provide a statement regarding previous experience and past performance in performing comparable work, information related to the business organization, financial resources, and equipment to be used in performing the work (see Attachments, Pre-award Survey).

If the contractor or subcontractor does not already have sufficient resources demonstrated in the completed Pre-award Survey, acceptable evidence of "the ability to obtain" the required, adequate resources normally consists of a commitment or explicit arrangement that will be in existence at the time of contract award to rent, purchase or otherwise acquire the needed facilities, equipment, other resources, or personnel.

Bidders shall provide letters from banks or other financial institutions with which the contractor conducts business.

The letters should contain information about your firm's accounts, loans, lines of credit, etc. The Government is interested in financial stability, timely payments, the length and nature of the relationship between the firm and the financial institution, and the firm's financial ability to perform the contract. The letters should also provide the name and telephone number of the bank representative the Government may contact. If a Joint Venture, provide this information for each Joint Venture participant.
