The past performance evaluation will assess the offeror's probability of meeting the solicitation's requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror's recent past performance and focusing on past performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation.

Each offeror will receive a past performance rating of acceptable or unacceptable based on the Offeror's recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the contract requirements. Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past five (5) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated. Relevancy Assessment: To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this solicitation. A relevancy determination of the offeror's (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror's contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the offer and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to past performance rating. The Past Performance Factor will receive one (1) of the adjectival ratings defined below. Table 2: Past Performance Evaluation Ratings RatingDescription AcceptableBased on the offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror's performance record is unknown. UnacceptableBased on the offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Offerors 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, may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, quote mark unknown quote mark shall be considered acceptable. (4)Factor III: Price: The Price factor will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b).

Pricing must be provided for all line items in order for an offeror to be considered for award. Those offerors not providing pricing for all line items will be removed from consideration for award. The Government will award a single contract to the offeror whose offer represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer. Unbalanced Pricing. Unbalanced pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices. Offers are due no later than 9 September 2014; 2:00 PM CST. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered by the agency. In accordance with 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, paragraph (f), quotes received after the established closing date will be viewed as late, and therefore not considered.
