C. Volume III - Past Performance. 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 directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Section M. A list of no more than six (6) of the Offeror’s most recent and relevant past performance information on projects: similar in size, scope, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation), performed for Government agencies and/or commercial customers within the last six (6) years from the solicitation release date.

1. The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance data from other sources than those identified by the Offeror in evaluating past performance. This includes, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate the Offerors past performance. The KO may also evaluated Past Performance based on direct knowledge of the Contractor’s performance on current or recent contracts. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the Offerors. All past performance 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 past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

2. Content. Past Performance Submission Requirements. The Offeror shall submit Past Performance information within the past three (3) years that is both recent and relevant in the following format:

Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional pricing information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if there are unusual circumstances where it is concluded that additional data are necessary to determine the reasonableness of price, the Contracting Officer shall, to the maximum extent practicable, obtain the additional data from sources other than the Offeror.

SUBCONTRACTOR/TEAMING PARTNER CONSENT FORM FOR THE RELEASE OF PAST

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TO THE PRIME CONTRACTOR

Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor's or teaming partner's consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government's Past Performance Evaluators in assessing your past performance relevancy and confidence, we request that the following consent form be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted as part of your Past Performance Volume III Proposal.
