SUMMARY OF CHANGES

Solicitation/Contract Form

The following changes have been made:

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified from:

Amendment 0002

The due date for questions has not changed.

The closing date for the solicitation has not changed.

12. May the prospective prime contractor rely on its proposed subcontractor's technicians, relevant experience, past performance, and installation facility to satisfy the Technical (Subfactor 1.1-1.3) and Past Performance evaluation factors described in Section M, where the subcontractor - not the prime - would perform the actual installation work?

For the technical submission the proposed subcontractor's information may be the focus as it directly applies to how the quoted solution would fulfill the requirement.

The Government's past performance evaluation is focused on the prime/quoter. Past Performance shows the Government how well the prime contractor performed the work, in other words, how well they executed what was promised in the quote. "The past performance assessment will assess the prime's (hereafter referred to as quoter's) ability to successfully accomplish the proposed effort based on the quoter's demonstrated present and past work record." (Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation, b. Past Performance Rating). If the prime contractor has had previous experience with their proposed subcontractor then that effort could be viewed as relevant. In the instance that the proposed subcontractor is an entity that the prime contractor has had no dealings with previously, the prime contractor could focus their past performance submission on efforts where they managed a subcontractor successfully as that is essentially what the prime is proposing to do for this effort.

13. Does the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) evaluation described in Section M(c) apply only to the prospective prime contractor (the quoter), or does it also apply to any subcontractor performing the work?
