8608407 General Evaluation Factors, Factor 1 – Experience Submission Requirements

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The requirement allowing for 6 years of experience and past performance does not appear to align with any of the previous RFPs for this work or the 5 year look back required for Attachment G which was provided with this RFP to ensure contractor responsibility. Q: For consistency, would the government please consider revising the Factor 1 Experience and Factor 4 Past Performance requirements to 5 years which more closely aligns to the previous RFP requirements as well as the Attachment G for this RFP?

8608414 General Evaluation Factors, Factor 1 – Experience Submission Requirements

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

The requirement allowing for 6 years of experience and past performance covers a period of significant changes in the Afghanistan operational environment. Since experience is more highly weighted if work is "similar to the types of services contemplated" and "that demonstrate appropriate type of experience," will the government give greater weight to experience in Afghanistan in the past 3 years as opposed to experience prior to these changes? Alternatively, should the past performance be shortened to only include experience from the past 3 years?

On: May 29 2020.

Government Response. . No, the requirement for 6 years for both Factor 1, Experience, and Factor 4, Past Performance, remains at 6 years. On: Jun 22 2020
