1. Technical Capability – to be determined technically acceptably offerors shall submit for evaluation, capability statement/documentation of their capability to provide the specified supplies in accordance with the project Specifications.

The offeror shall provide sufficient documentation of their technical capability, by including technical literature, one to two page narrative addressing ability to provide doors required, or any other information to enable the Government to determine the offeror’s capability to provide supplies.

2. Satisfactory Past Performance – to demonstrate satisfactory past performance the offeror shall provide documentation of satisfactory performance on past or current contracts (3-5 years) of a similar type, size, scope and complexity, as well as, provide two (2) references, including names and contact information of references who can verify their past performance.

The Government’s approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the offeror to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the offeror.

It is incumbent upon the offeror to submit sufficient documentation and information for the Government to determine technical acceptability, and satisfactory past performance. Failure to submit sufficient information for the government to determine technical acceptability, and past performance may be cause for rejection of your quote.
