Offeror is advised that in conducting this assessment the Government reserves the right to use both data provided by the Offeror and data obtained from other sources.

A subcontractor’s past performance and experience will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the joint venture partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and the subcontractor. The Government will consider the past performance and experience of a subcontractor where the prime contractor provides, in its proposal, evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the prime contractor and the subcontractor to enter in to a subcontract. However the level of consideration will depend on the extent to which the proposal demonstrates the prime contractor’s commitment to award a subcontract to the subcontractor and the subcontractor’s commitment to enter in to a subcontract with the prime contractor, including legal accountability for both parties.

Submission 1) Past Performance Information The offeror shall describe record of past performance with programs similar in nature, work (fully designed and at least 50% construction progress completed), size, magnitude, complexity and scope.

This information shall include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, critical subcontractors, or teaming contractors, if such resources will be brought to bear or significantly influence the performance of the proposed effort. Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements.

There are no minimum or maximum numbers of references required; however the offeror shall submit sufficient past performance information to demonstrate the depth and breadth to successfully satisfy all Task Areas. It is incumbent upon the contractor to present the past performance information in such a manner and in sufficient detail to ensure the Government clearly understands the information provided.

Submissions should explain the aspects of the contracts/references that are deemed relevant to the proposed effort. Include a discussion of significant achievements or explain past problems considered to be relevant to the proposed efforts, as well as past efforts to identify and manage program/project risk. In describing contractual effort and the past performance, include specific details of performance as follows and as applicable:

Documentation Format:

Past performance information shall be presented in the following format similar to Attachment 3, Past Performance Information. The contractor is encouraged to ensure the information provided is current. Data that is not current will be discarded and not considered.

The Government may contact references to determine or substantiate customer satisfaction with an offeror’s performance. Sources other than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the Government in the evaluation of an offeror’s past performance and experience. The Government may use any source to obtain data and information concerning an offeror’s past performance and experience and consider all information obtained for evaluation purposes.

C. Volume III: Factor III – Price and Administrative.

This volume shall consist of all information, required to support offered prices and Administrative documents. The offeror shall submit their detailed price proposal in Excel format on the required disc.

Tab A: Pricing for Seed Project Task Order

Note that there were significant changes in 2011 to the SBA requirements for a Joint venture Agreement in a small business set-aside. Ensure that you have the most up to date regulations from the Small Business Administration. All questions regarding this must be directed the Small Business Administration and not the Contracting Officer.

All Joint Ventures are advised to avoid a potential conflict of interest Joint Venture (JV) partners WILL NOT be eligible for individual MATOC awards in addition to an award to the JV entity.

Joint Ventures will be assessed to qualify as Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) by following the SBA regulation for Joint Venture, WOSB.

If, after discussions have begun, an offeror originally in the competitive range is no longer considered to be among the most highly rated offerors being considered for award, that offeror may be eliminated from the competitive range whether or not all material aspects of the proposal have been discussed, or whether or not the offeror has been afforded an opportunity to submit a proposal revision.
