Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate Offeror past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all the sources provided by the Offerors, it is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided.

The burden of providing thorough and complete Past Performance information remains with the Offerors.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

If CPAR information is not available for a project provided for experience, a completed Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), attached at the end of this section (Form PPQ-0) must be provided per the following guidance:

If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government’s point of contact, is Tameka Crockett, via email at Tameka.L.Crockett@usace.army.mil with the subject reading “Past Performance Questionnaire, Solicitation No.

W912HZ20R0037” prior to the proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

3.8. Volume III – Cost/Price Proposal
