The Past Performance factor will be rated as follows: Rating Symbol Definition Outstanding O Based on the Offeror's record of past performance, no issues, concerns, or risks are associated with receiving timely services and contract performance.

Past performance surveys and the Offeror's experience indicate the Offeror is capable of exceeding the requirements of the RFQ.
