PART II – PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS

1. REQUIREMENT FOR SEPARATE PRICE AND TECHNICAL PROPOSALS.

a. Each Offeror must submit both a Price Proposal (Pricing Schedule) and a Technical Proposal. The Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be submitted as separate volumes. Ensure that the outside of each separate volume is clearly marked to indicate its contents; and the identity of the Offeror.

b. Both the Price Proposal and the Technical Proposal must be received by the closing date and time set for receipt of proposals.

c. No coefficients and/or dollar amounts from the Price Proposal are to be included in the Technical Proposal.

d. All information intended to be evaluated as part of the Technical Proposal must be submitted as part of the Technical Proposal. Do not merely cross-reference similar material in the Price Proposal, or vice versa. Also, do not include links to websites in lieu of incorporating information into your proposal.

e. Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal.

Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined "unacceptable" and thus ineligible for award. Should the Offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to submission of the offer.

2. PROPOSAL FORMAT & GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

a. Submit only the electronic files specifically authorized and/or required elsewhere in this section. Do not submit excess information, to include audio-visual materials, electronic media, etc. All pages shall be numbered. A single side of a sheet of paper equals one page.

b. Offerors are advised to follow the DoD SAFE instructions for uploading files. DoD SAFE has posted official file size limitations of 8.0 GB per file, or 8.0 GB total for the entire drop-off. Additional instructions/guidance can be found at https://safe.apps.mil/about.php.

c. Although hard copies are not accepted, each file shall be clearly indexed, and logically assembled. Font size shall be 10 or larger. An unusual font style, such as script or condensed print, shall not be used for any submission. All page margins shall be at least one (1) inch wide, but may include headers and footers of the solicitation, project title, and company. Pages shall be formatted to print on 8 ½ by 11 inch paper, unless another paper size is specifically authorized elsewhere in this section for a particular submission. Spreadsheets must fit to 11x14 or 11x17 paper size unless specifically authorized in this section for a particular submission. Offerors shall prepare proposals in the English language. Proposals shall be in a narrative format, organized and titled so that each section of the proposal follows the order and format of the factors. Information presented should be organized so as to pertain to only the evaluation factor in the section that the information is presented. Information pertaining to more than one evaluation factor should be repeated in each section for each applicable factor.

Electronic files shall be Microsoft Windows compatible. Files shall be submitted in their native format (i.e. doc, xls, ppt, etc.), or if in pdf format, shall be in searchable text. If the electronic files are of a size at which they must be compressed (zipped), they shall be compressed into one zipped folder.

d. Interested parties shall submit responses no later than the date specified on the solicitation document. The time & date of proposal receipt will be the delivery time & date recorded within DoD SAFE. Do not assume that electronic submission will occur instantaneously. Large files may take some time to upload. Offerors should time their upload effort with prudence by not waiting until the last few minutes—this will allow for unexpected delays in the transmittal process and troubleshooting. Proposal submission difficulties should be coordinated with the DoD SAFE Service Desk at 1-844-347-2457. Offerors are encouraged to keep a copy of the upload confirmation for their record. Submissions received after the deadline will be considered late and as such will be processed in accordance with FAR 15.208.

e. “Confidential” projects cannot be submitted to demonstrate capability unless all of the information required for evaluation as specified herein can be provided to the Government as part of the Offeror’s technical proposal.

Offerors that include in their proposals information that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, must be clearly marked in accordance with the instructions at FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors—Competitive Acquisition”, paragraph (e), “Restriction on disclosure and use of data”.

f. In the case of an Offeror that is part of a large, multi-segmented business concern, provide information directly pertaining to the specific segment of the business concern (i.e., the division, group, unit, etc.) that will perform work under the prospective contract.

g. Proposal revisions shall be submitted as page replacements with revised text readily identifiable, e.g., bold face print or underlining. The source of the revision or amendment, e.g., Error, Omission or Clarification shall be included and be annotated for each revision. Proposal replacement pages shall be numbered and clearly marked “REVISED”, with the date of revision.

3. VENTURE PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS. When proposing as a joint venture, all members of the joint venture shall sign the bid bond unless a written agreement by the joint venture is furnished with the proposal designating one firm with the authority to bind the other member(s) of the joint venture. In addition, a copy of the joint venture agreement shall be submitted with the proposal. Failure to comply with the foregoing requirements may eliminate the proposal from further consideration. For 8(a) or 8(a) joint venture, the Offeror shall ensure that it complies with the applicable requirements of 13 CFR Part 124 respectively.

4. BID GUARANTEE. A Bid Guarantee will be required with this proposal. The penal sum of the bond is as stated in provision 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee.

5. DISCUSSIONS. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors—Competitive Acquisitions. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

A “Competitive Range” is a subjective determination of the most highly rated proposals in the event that discussions with Offerors are required. In such an event, the SSA will approve a competitive range of all the most highly rated proposals.

If discussions are held, the Government may engage in a broad give and take with each Offeror in the competitive range, in accordance with FAR 15.306 (d). The Government will provide the Offeror an advance agenda for the discussions. During discussions, the Government may ask the Offeror to further explain its proposal and to answer questions about it.

Upon conclusion of discussions, those Offerors still considered the most highly rated, will be afforded an opportunity to submit their proposal revisions for final evaluation and selection.

In addition to the other proposal information, the Contracting Officer shall use this information in making an affirmative responsibility determination for award to the Successful Offerors, in accordance with FAR Part 9.

Failure to achieve an affirmative responsibility determination will make the Offeror ineligible for award.

6. COST OR PRICING DATA. Offerors are not required to submit Cost or Pricing Data with their offers.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS, EVALUATION CRITERIA, AND BASIS OF

AWARD

A. OVERVIEW

The Government will evaluate the proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria described herein, using the evaluation rating systems outlined for selection procedures.

Price information will be evaluated for fairness, reasonableness, and for material unbalancing, as described herein. Evaluation will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15.

B. BASIS OF AWARD

The Contracting Officer will award a firm fixed-price contract to that responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the RFP, is fair and reasonable, and offers the best overall value to the Government, considering the non-price factors described herein, and price (coefficient) as determined by the Source Selection Authority. All evaluation factors, other than price (coefficient), when combined, are considered significantly more important than the price (coefficient). The intent of this RFP is to obtain the best value proposal. After the Government individually evaluates each proposal, the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority will compare proposals to determine which proposal represents the best value. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced (coefficient) offer or to reject all offers. The Government will not award a contract to an Offeror whose proposal contains a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. If there is a lower priced (coefficient), conforming offer(s), the Contracting Officer/Source Selection Authority must determine that the added value of a more expensive proposal would justify award to that Offeror.

1. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 1 – MANAGEMENT APPROACH

GENERAL: Offerors shall describe their Plan and Resources for execution of a Job Order Contract (JOC). Offerors shall possess an overall management capability to manage and execute JOC task orders. Describe management of work scope systematically and efficiently in order to maximize operational and financial performance, to minimize project risk.

a. Submission Requirements:

PLAN: Describe your plan and capabilities to respond to the Government’s notification of a proposed Task Order requirement. Include your plan and capabilities to estimate, prepare, submit, and negotiate Task Order proposals within the range anticipated under the awarded contract; your plan to interface with the Government for informational, collaborative, and historical purposes regarding a wide variety of construction, maintenance and repair projects constructed simultaneously; your plan for task order management under the awarded contract, including your plan for conducting meetings and tracking the high volume of task order projects simultaneously. Limit the Plan description to two (2) pages.

RESOURCES: Describe your corporate systems and capabilities to maintain the execution and completion of a JOC contract. Demonstrate your corporate reach-back capabilities for successful JOC task order execution, i.e.: plan of action for providing corporate support in a timely manner by providing resources from other parts of the corporation for unusual needs such as increased workload in a compressed timeframe, and how the Government will benefit. Demonstrate the ability to manage/construct (i.e. as many as 25 or more) small to medium-scale construction, maintenance and repair projects (typically in the range of $2,500 - $1,000,000 each), in different locations, simultaneously within the same military installation. Also, demonstrate the ability to respond to multiple concurrent requests for proposal by Government as this will be a common occurrence. Limit the Resources description to two (2) pages.

b. Evaluation Criteria:

PLAN – The Government will review the clarity, adequacy, capabilities and strengths of the Offerors described plan to respond to the Government’s notification of a proposed task order requirement. The plan will be evaluated to determine the Offeror’s understanding to estimate, prepare, submit and negotiate task order proposals within the range anticipated under the awarded contract, the Offeror’ s plan to interface with the Government for informational, collaborative, and historical purposes regarding a wide variety of construction, maintenance, and/or repair projects simultaneously; the Offeror’s plan for task order management under the awarded contract, including their plan for conducting meetings and tracking a high volume of task order projects simultaneously. Offerors who describe a clear understanding of the JOC process plan may receive a higher rating for this factor.

RESOURCES – The Government will evaluate the Offerors proposed corporate systems and capabilities to maintain the execution and completion of a JOC contract. An Offeror must clearly demonstrate their existing corporate resources and plan to procure new resources in a timely manner for unusual needs such as increased workload in a compressed timeframe. Offerors will be evaluated on their ability to manage/construct as many as 25 or more small to medium-scale construction, maintenance and repair projects in different locations, simultaneously within the same military installation. The Government will evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the Offeror’s description of their corporate systems and proposed personnel dedicated to the JOC team as well as the Offeror’s plan to manage and staff the JOC team during both low, and high, volume proposal construction periods.

2. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 2 – QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM

1. Do not submit a quality control plan. Offeror shall describe their plan for inspection and acceptance of work. Address how QC plans will be made project specific and provide pertinent information regarding inspection of work, correction of nonconforming work, and acceptance and close-out procedures for task order projects.

2. Offeror shall describe their plan to communicate and enforce task order requirements, workmanship and safety standards to work force (i.e. in house and subcontractors).

3. Offeror shall describe their plan for submittals and conformance to a Job Order Contract and its individual task order specifications.

5. Offeror shall describe their plan for providing; testing, quality control reporting, shop drawing support, proposed plan for quality control staffing levels and quality control responsibilities.

6. Offeror shall explain the development of the Job Order Contract safety plan as a living document and how Activity Hazard Analysis for individual task orders will be implemented into the safety plan.

7. The page limitation for Factor 2 is limited to fifteen (15) pages. Offers exceeding the page limitation for this factor will not be reviewed past the fifteenth page.

1. The Offeror will be evaluated on the following items and how they relate to JOC. Evaluations will be based on their narrative plan for inspection and acceptance of work, how the QC plans will be made project specific and provide pertinent information regarding inspection of work, correction of nonconforming work, and acceptance and close-out procedures for task order projects.

2. Offeror will be evaluated on their plan to communicate and enforce task order requirements, workmanship and safety standards to work force (i.e. in house and subcontractors).

3. Offeror will be evaluated on the description of their plan for submittals and conformance to a Job Order Contract and its individual task order specifications.

4. Offeror will be evaluated on provided information on how they will handle internal and external requests for information, shop drawings, progress meetings, site visits, contract completion, closeout, as-built and completion documentation.

5. Offeror shall describe their plan for providing, testing, quality control reporting, shop drawing support, proposed plan for quality control staffing levels and quality control responsibilities.

6. Offeror will be evaluated on their explanation on the development of the Job Order Contract safety plan as a living document and how Activity Hazard Analysis for individual task orders will be implemented into the safety plan.

3. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

1. The Offeror shall demonstrate past performance through the submission of similar projects, using the Past Performance Assessment Worksheet – (Attachment 1). If the Offeror is a joint venture, provide past performance information for construction projects relevant to each of the proposed roles on this project. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, limit the project examples to those performed by the division or unit submitting the offer. Offeror shall submit a minimum of one (1) and no more than five (5) projects completed or substantially completed within 6 years from the date of this solicitation that best represents their experience similar to the scope of work for this solicitation.

<AMD0001> If the project is an IDIQ contract, such as JOC or SABRE, substantially completed is defined as completion of the base year. If submitting an IDIQ contract, a list of completed task orders should be provided. The list should include task order number, period of performance of the task order, and dollar value of the task order. <\AMD0001> If more than one project is submitted, the Offeror may submit one project that is currently in progress and at least 50% completed. If Offeror is proposing as a Joint Venture (JV) and past performance cannot be provided as a JV, individual partners may submit his/her past performance information, not to exceed the maximum of five (5) projects total.

2. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation (Attachment 2) is provided for the Offeror to submit to the client for each project the Offeror included in its proposal for Factor 3, Past Performance that does not have a final CCASS or CPARS evaluation or is a non-Federal Government project. Ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQ should be submitted with your proposal. If the Offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ, which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If any negative past performance information is received to which the Offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond, the contractor will be given an opportunity to provide rebuttal. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, Kristi Pagan, via e-mail at: kristi.m.pagan@usace.army.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposals PPQ’s previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

3. Do not request a PPQ on project(s) that have final evaluations. If a final CCASS or CPARS evaluation exists and a PPQ is provided for the same project, the CCASS or CPARS evaluation will be reviewed as the official past performance record for the project, and the PPQ will not be considered by the Source Selection Evaluation Board or the Source Selection Authority.

4. For USACE or other DoD projects which are underway but do not yet have an interim CPARS evaluation, one PPQ per contract may be submitted; to be considered, the PPQ shall be signed by the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) for the contract.

5. Offerors may submit performance recognition documents received within the last six (6) years, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition relevant to the submitted projects to demonstrate the Offeror’s performance capabilities and customer satisfaction.

6. Offerors may submit information on past performance issues and corrective actions taken to prevent these issues from reoccurring. Discuss whether these corrective actions have been implemented on contracts awarded subsequent to the performance issues, the effectiveness of the corrective actions, and POC information for the subsequent contracts.

7. In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluation of past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), including Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), using all CAGE/DUNS number(s) of team members (Partnership, Joint Venture, Teaming Arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), Federal Awardees Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known sources not provided by the offeror. While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

8. Projects will be considered relevant to this procurement if they are similar in complexity, in type, scope, or magnitude. Relevancy is defined as:

a) The highest project relevancy will be considered if Offeror is the Prime contractor of base JOC/ Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirement (SABER) contract. Provide list of JOC or SABER task orders awarded under the contract to include contract values in Attachment 1 – Past Performance Assessment Worksheet.

b) The next highest project relevancy will be considered if Offeror demonstrated management of contracts that contain multiple and concurrent renovation projects valued from $2,500 to $1,000,000.

9. The Offeror may provide a supplemental narrative (not project lists), not to exceed two (2) pages, explaining how any corporate past performance that is not directly related to the specific projects above is applicable to this project and how the Government will benefit.

b. RELEVANCY DETERMINATION:

1. The Government will evaluate the Offerors past performance to determine how relevant the past performance is to the project under consideration. Past performance on the projects identified in the project forms will receive more consideration than past performance provided in the supplemental narrative. The Government will place greater value on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project past performance will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project past performance.

2. More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

3. Contracts with lower degrees of relevance will not be as strong of predictors of likely future contract performance success and will typically have less influence on the final past performance confidence rating.

4. Contracts that have little or no relevance typically do not influence the performance confidence rating; however, any contracts with adverse past performance could reflect larger company-wide concerns and may impact upon the past performance confidence rating.

5. Based on the relevancy of the projects submitted, an overall relevancy determination will be assessed as an interim step prior to establishing a confidence rating. For an overall relevancy determination of “relevant” or higher, the Offeror must demonstrate past performance as defined in paragraph a8 above..

c. CONFIDENCE EVALUATION CRITERIA:

1. The SSEB will review the past performance information available, to include CCASS, CPARS and other past performance information deemed relevant, to determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment. If any firm has multiple functions or divisions, the Government will only evaluate past performance of the division or unit submitting the offer. If the Government cannot establish the Offeror’s relevant past performance, it reserves the right to utilize the Past Performance Questionnaire to conduct telephone interviews on any source it deems relevant to the evaluation. Owners/references may be asked to comment on items such as quality of construction, timeliness, management of the work, subcontractor management, including timely payment to subs or suppliers, safety, relations between owner and contractor, level of support for such things as as-built documentation, O&M manuals, training, correcting construction errors, warranty work, etc. The Government will not release the information gathered to the Offeror at any time, in order for the Government to solicit candid, unbiased interview comments. The Government’s evaluation is not limited to past performance information on the cited example projects.

2. In determining the performance confidence rating for Past Performance, the degree of relevancy/recency of all of the considered efforts; the overall performance record of the offeror on each contract assessed; number and severity of problems, the demonstrated effectiveness of corrective actions taken (not just planned or promised); and trend data will be considered. Contracts with higher degrees of relevance will typically have a greater influence on the final performance confidence rating. Contracts with lower degrees of relevance will typically have less influence on the final performance confidence rating however, any contracts with adverse past performance could reflect larger company-wide concerns and may impact upon the past performance confidence rating. Contracts which are comparatively more recent may be better predictors of likely future success than older contracts. The resulting relevant/recent assessment conclusions will then be combined, along with the assessed quality of performance on prior contracts, to arrive at a single performance confidence rating for the Past Performance Factor.

3. The confidence rating will be established based on the past performance of the firms or that of its predecessor, if applicable. An entity may not establish past performance based on the past performance of its key personnel apart from that of the entity. If the Government does not obtain past performance information and cannot establish a past performance record for the Offeror through other sources, a rating of Unknown (Neutral) confidence will be assigned. If negative information is received, the Offeror will be given an opportunity to provide input as required by FAR 15. CCASS and CPARs that are part of the official record will be utilized as if the Offeror has already had an opportunity to respond.

4. VOLUME 1, FACTOR 4 – SAMPLE PROBLEM

1. Offerors shall complete the sample JOC Problem below, and provide a cost proposal utilizing the given information below. Use only the sample coefficients and CCI provided. Do not use your coefficients provided under Volume 2 – Price/Cost proposal.

SAMPLE PROBLEM A customer located in an Administrative Building at White Sands Missile Range has been approved to make renovations to their Conference Room. A HAZMAT survey was previously performed and determined there is asbestos under the existing VCT flooring. The building will be occupied during construction, so a portion of the work must be performed after normal working hours. The features of work were previously determined and the bare cost line items provided below are to be used in proposal development. Apply the appropriate coefficient(s) and CCI to the bare cost line item totals in order to determine the total cost for the project. Show all work. Do not add additional line items. Limit the sample problem proposal to one (1) page.

City Cost Index (CCI) Weighted Average 64.9%

Sample Coefficients

Item Description Coefficient Factor 0001 Normal Working Hours 1.15 0002 Other Than Normal Working Hours 1.20 0003 Non-Pre-priced Items 1.35 0004 Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint 1.37

Bare Cost Line Item Totals (All below totals are applicable to this sample project)

Normal Working Hours Total $ 19,500.00 Other Than Normal Working Hours Total $ 8,500.00 Non-Pre-priced Items $ 1,250.00 Asbestos Abatement Total $ 3,300.00

Offerors will be evaluated on their understanding of the utilization and application of the information provided in the sample problem. Offerors will also be evaluated on the correct application of the coefficients to the bare cost line item totals listed in the sample problem and the correct application of the City Cost Index. Offerors will be evaluated to ensure that items listed in the Coefficient Inclusions (Section 00 11 00.02) were not added to the total cost in the sample problem. Failure to provide the correct answer to the sample problem, or the inclusion of additional line items, may result in a deficiency for Factor 4. Offerors shall be able to apply JOC processes, line item estimating and proposal procedures utilizing appropriate coefficients correctly.

5. DEFINITIONS

Deficiency. A deficiency is a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level. See FAR 15.001.

Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR

15.001.

Significant Weakness. A flaw in the proposal that significantly increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. See FAR 15.001.

Strength. Any aspect of an Offerors proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Strength. An aspect of an Offerors proposal that has appreciable merit or appreciably exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be appreciably advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Uncertainty. Any aspect of a non-cost/price factor proposal for which the intent of the offer is unclear (e.g. more than one way to interpret the offer or inconsistencies in the proposal indicating that there may have been an error, omission, or mistake).

Outstanding. Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good. Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable. Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal. Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable. Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is un-awardable.

a. Performance Ratings. A single confidence rating shall be assigned to Past Performance.

The relevancy determination will assess the Offerors past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the Offeror is to the effort to be acquired under this solicitation.

The confidence rating assesses the risks associated with each Offerors likelihood of success in performing the requirements stated in the RFP based on the Offerors demonstrated performance on recent contracts. SSEB members and the SSA may use personal knowledge or information from other sources in its evaluation of an Offerors past performance, provided such information is consistent with the established evaluation criteria of the RFP. Offerors that have no relevant performance record will be given a neutral/unknown confidence rating.

b. Relevancy Determination Definitions

Very Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant. Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

c. Confidence Rating System

Unknown Confidence (Neutral). No relevant performance record is identifiable upon which to base a meaningful performance risk prediction. A search was unable to identify any relevant past performance information for the Offeror or key team members/subcontractors. This is neither a negative or positive assessment.

Substantial Confidence. Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence. Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence. Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence. Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
