Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs.
However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.
Offerors may provide details on past performance problems and corrective actions taken as a part of the proposal. When an Offeror’s firm is divided into severable segments (e.g., division, group, unit) the Government shall evaluate only the past performance of those segments of the firm that shall actually perform the work. Additionally, if Offeror has no relevant past performance, information may be provided for key subcontractors.
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.
Recency Assessment. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Information that fails the recency assessment shall not be evaluated.
Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar to the nature of work, size, magnitude, complexity and scope to the work required by this RFP. The Government shall conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information provided to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this RFP. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration shall be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. Relevant experience information that fails this condition shall not be evaluated.
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 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 shall 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.
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.
