L.4 Evaluation Factors

Offeror proposals shall address the following Factors:

a. Past Performance

b. Price

L.4.1 Volume 1 Past Performance

For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for up to one submission that was performed by the offeror as the prime contractor

(unless otherwise allowed by L.4.1.4), that is recent and the offeror considers to have relevance to the criteria consideration in

Section L.4.1.2). In this context, the prime contractor is the party that executes an agreement with another party to perform work, and does not have to be a US Government contract holder. These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts.

The Government will not consider the past performance of proposed subcontractors.

The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractor's Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.4 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of

Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (RFO FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. If a contract instrument (such as a task or delivery order, etc.) executed under a broad ordering instrument (such as an IDIQ, BOA, FSS, etc.) also functions as a broad ordering instrument which does not require or demonstrate that a distinct effort be performed, and requires other written instruments to execute performance, then this contract instrument would NOT meet the definition of a Contract.

An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Government's understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

For the purpose of this Factor, a submission is defined as the offeror's proposed historical contractual instrument identified in the

Past Performance Matrix (Attachment 0006). It is incumbent upon the Offeror to ensure its proposed submission meets the definition of a

Contract (See definition above).

L.4.1.1 A Recent Contracts is one performed within 7 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2 A Relevant Contract is comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following criteria consideration:

Manufacture and Delivery of at least 5,000 each of a similar Reflex Sight to a US military customer. A similar Reflex Sight will take into account the similarities to this solicitation requirements, such as battery life, weight, and mounting configuration requirements for the MIL-STD-1913 rail.

L.4.1.3 Past Performance Factor Proposal Information. Refer to the definition of a Contract above (L.4.1). The offeror's proposal shall substantiate what distinct effort was required and actually performed under it's proposed submission by providing the following information below:

L.4.1.3.1 The offeror shall provide a completed Past Performance Matrix (Attachment 0006). The offeror's proposed Past Performance

Matrix (Attachment 0006) will serve as the basis of identifying the Offeror's proposed submission. If the offeror is not proposing a submission as part of its proposal, it shall affirm this by signing the statement in its submitted Past Performance Matrix (Attachment

0006). Failure to provide a completed Past Performance Matrix (Attachment 0006) may result in the proposal being rejected.

L.4.1.3.2 For the submission proposed in the Past Performance Matrix (Attachment 0006), provide the following information, which are recommended to be submitted as stand-alone attachments within this Factor volume:

7 10

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

Discuss any specific similarities of past contract's delivered end item to the sight reflex that this solicitation requirements, such as battery life, weight, and mounting configuration requirements for the MIL-STD-1913 rail. Do not provide a breakdown of comparability of all past Contract requirements to all current RFP requirements, only discuss the comparability to the proposed criteria consideration. In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited submission's statement of work (to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed. The narrative shall also include a brief self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and Schedule requirements:

*Page Limit: A five page limit applies to this written narrative for the proposed submission. This page limit does not apply to any table of contents or cover page, any substantiating documents submitted in response to this Section L.4.1.3 (b)-(e) below, or other requested documentation and written narratives in Section L.4.1.4 below. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will not review any pages beyond five pages for any proposed submission.

(b) A copy of the executed submission's cover sheet(s) and/or copies of other sections that identifies the entities/parties of the proposed submission and the execution date if not identified on the cover sheet;

(c) Copies of the sections of the submission that substantiate the Delivery or Performance schedule, and the period of performance

(d) Copy of the complete Performance Work Statement or Scope of Work for the proposed submission. If the submission was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. Indefinite Delivery Contracts, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed submission are further defined within the terms and conditions

(e.g. statement of work) of that related written instrument, provide that information and any other information necessary to establish this instrument's relationship to the proposed submission. (These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments within the proposal volume).

(e) The offeror may submit additional documentation to further substantiate the relevance of its proposed past performance. This can include documentation from the proposed submission or documentation of related contractual instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of relevancy.

L.4.1.4 Associated Entity, Predecessor Company, and Joint Venture.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a copy of a written agreement between the associated entity and the offeror describing what the associated entity will provide and/or be responsible for, and a written narrative that explains the significant and critical aspects the associated entity will provide to the proposed effort i.e. the work to be performed by the associated entity. This may include a description of the associated entity's resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.4.2 Predecessor Company. The Government may consider the past performance of a predecessor company if the offeror demonstrates the experience of the predecessor company is reasonably predictive of the offeror's performance under the proposed effort.

a) A predecessor company may include a company which was acquired by the offeror or merged with the offeror. It may also include other instances where the predecessor company was reorganized, restructured, or otherwise altered. A predecessor company does not include an entity which remains separate and distinct from the offeror. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offeror's relationship to the predecessor company. The offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the offeror's status as the successor company.
