Examples of reasons for being found unacceptable include but are not limited to: nonresponsive, debarred or suspended, prohibited source, or products which are submitted that fail to meet field testing evaluation for equivalency. 2. Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of relevancy and recent history. Relevance means references provided must relate to the same effort or similar one in both product and scale. Recent history means references provided on current or recently completed contracts within the past 3 years. Past performance will assess delivery and quality of product as it relates to probability of successful contract performance. 3.
