The Government is not limited to contacting only those references provided by the offeror. The Government may also consider the offeror's performance on contracts not submitted by the offeror that the Government is aware of, or becomes aware of.

The offerors must provide up to two (2) references for each project listed. For each reference, the contractor must include the reference's name, title, project, email address, and telephone number.
