The Government's approach to evaluating past performance is to check the references provided by the contractor to verify satisfactory past performance as well as data obtained from other sources available i.e. government database, past contract files, etc. The offeror is cautioned that while the Government will consider data from other sources, the burden of demonstrating satisfactory past performance rests with the offeror.

Relevancy. Only contracts which were/are relevant in scope will be considered.

Individual line item prices in the bidding schedule shall reflect the maximum price to COMPLETE the work listed in that line item and will be used for the purpose of price evaluation.
