PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for a total of up to 2 Recent Contracts performed by the offeror as the prime contractor, that the offeror considers to have relevance. These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts. 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 contractors 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.

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. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Governments 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.

L.4.1.1. Recent Contracts are those performed within 3 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2. Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following Performance Work

(c) Contract Type;

(d) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(j) A description of the work performed by the offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1) the relevant work performed under the Performance Work Statement (PWS) requirements of the offerors cited Contract(s) and (2) the

Performance Work Statement (PWS) requirements identified in L.4.1.2. In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contracts Performance Work Statement (to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(k) Contract period of performance;

(These documents can be submitted as stand-alone attachments within the proposal volume).
