A narrative describing a relevant project that demonstrates the ability to manage group instruction ratios in accordance with (IAW) PWS 5.7.

A narrative detailing experience managing an annual client caseload consistent with the 90,000-client estimate in PWS 1.4, and documentation practices compliant with PWS 5.1.8.

An Operations Plan for the Virtual Center that details how the offeror will meet the 24/5 operational hours, telephone wait time, and email response time requirements of PWS 5.10.

Submission Requirements: Offerors shall submit past performance information for up to three (3) of the contracts they consider most relevant. The information provided must include:

Contract number, ordering agency, and current point of contact (POC) (both contracting and technical) including name, title, email, and phone number.

A narrative describing the work performed and explaining in detail why it is relevant to the requirements of the TAP PWS.

A specific narrative addressing any instances where the offeror did not meet contractual schedule or performance requirements, including the reason for the deficiency and the corrective actions taken.

If an offeror has no record of relevant past performance, it shall affirmatively state so. An offeror's lack of past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably.

Volume IV: Price

Offerors shall complete the pricing schedule provided as an attachment to the solicitation. Prices must be proposed for the phase-in period, the base period, and all option periods.

Offerors shall propose an all-inclusive Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) for the Biennial TAP Symposium under CLINs 2003 and 4003 in the attached pricing schedule. The proposed price for each CLIN must cover all labor, management, materials, and any other costs required to plan, coordinate, and execute one (1) symposium event during the corresponding option period, as described in PWS Section 5.17.
