(iii) VOLUME III –Price. Complete SF1449: The Offeror shall submit a completed SF 1449 CLIN structure indicating a unit price and total proposed price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINS) for the base period accordingly.

(iv) VOLUME IV – Past Performance. The past performance evaluation is an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements.

This assessment is based on the offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the products and/or services outlined in the solicitation requirements.

Past performance will be initially evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant to the effort to be acquired. The solicitation shall establish the criteria for recency and relevancy in relation to the requirement being procured. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract performance history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the requirements of the contract.

The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the services being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Section M (Basis for Award).

Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 50% or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price. The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

(a) The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than three (3) years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

(b) In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. 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. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Offerors shall construct and present their proposal/responses in the format listed below.

Offerors shall address each element by providing sufficient data/information to enable to Government to assign an acceptable rating to each element.

1. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

(a) Table of Contents

(b) Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Attachment 1.

(c) Consent Letters executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is attached as Attachment 1).

(d) Organization Structure Change History— Organizational Structure Change

History. Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

(e) Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets are limited to 3 pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

(f) Past Performance Questionnaire. For the contracts identified on each Specific

Relevant Contract Reference, the offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to antonio.r.jones.civ6@mail.mil and catherine.p.richardson.civ@mail.mil as specified on page 1 of the solicitation (SF 1449). Any questionnaires not returned directly to the Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance.

(g) Note: New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary

Page that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided.

E. DISCUSSIONS.

The Government intends to award this requirement without discussions; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines it is necessary. Additionally, the Government reserves the right to incorporate the proposal of the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror selected for contract award as an attachment of Section J of the resulting contract award.

F. Proposal Submittal and Inquiries.

Antonio Jones Contract Specialist antonio.r.jones.civ6@mail.mil Catherine Richardson Contracting Officer catherine.p.richardson.civ@mail.mil

SUBCONTRACTOR INFORMATION AND CONSENT FORM

Subcontractor and/or Teaming Partner Consent for the Release of Past Performance Information to the Prime Contractor and Reference Information

Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government in assessing your past performance relevancy we request that the following consent form be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted to the offering contractor for submission with past performance volume.

___________________(Name of Firm) is currently planning on participating as a (subcontractor and or a teaming partner) with ___________________(prime contractor or name of entity providing proposal) in responding to the W91QEX-20-R-0002 Counternarcotics Assessment Services issued by the 410th Contracting Support Brigade/Regional Contracting Office Miami located at 9301 NW 33rd street, Doral, FL 33172.

We understand that the Government is placing increased emphasis on past performance in order to obtain best value in source selections. In order to facilitate the performance confidence assessment process we are signing this consent form to allow you to discuss our past and present performance information with the prime contractor during the source selection process.
