The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 1. Technical Capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement per 3. Specific Recquirements in the PWS; 2. Past Performance: This factor will be rated acceptable or unacceptable based on three (3) Past Performance Questionnaires submitted as to whether the past performance is relevant and demonstrates successful past performance by the vendor, such as: no terminations for default, no ratings less than satisfactory by its customers/references, whether the quality of its work was satisfactory and completed in a timely manner and whether the vendor demonstrated reasonableness and cooperation during performance of the contracts. Past failure to apply sufficient tenacity and perseverance to perform acceptably is strong evidence of unacceptable past performance. In addition, failure to meet the quality requirements of a contract is a significant factor to consider in determining unsatisfactory performance. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings: Acceptable- Based on the vendor's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort, or the vendor's performance is unknown. Unacceptable- Based on the vendor's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort. For Past Performance to be considered relevant, it must be similar in work and must be completed in the last three years from the date of this solicitation. In the case of a quote 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 vendor shall be determined to have unknown past performance. Unknown shall be considered acceptable. The Government will conduct a past performance assessment on all contracts submitted by the vendor on the attached Past Performance Questionnaire.

The Government will consider the Past Performance information, as well as information obtained from any other sources.; and 3.
