III. Past Performance Evaluation. PAST PERFORMANCE RATINGS: The performance assessment process will result in an overall performance rating of "Sufficient Past Performance" or "Limited Past Performance". Offerors with no relevant or recent past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Past Performance", meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Confidence ratings are defined as follows: SUFFICIENT PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. LIMITED PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. UNKNOWN PAST PERFORMANCE: Based on the quoter's performance record, the government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. a. When determining recency, relevancy and assigning a past performance confidence rating, the government will consider the type of experience, the amount of experience, and the ability of contractor to meet customer needs. b. Past performance regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement will not be considered as highly as past performance information from the principal quoter. Quoters with no relevant past or present performance history or the quoter's performance record is so limited that no confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned shall receive the rating "Unknown Past Performance," meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. If the prime contractor has no past performance and is relying on their subcontractor's past performance, the prime contractor will be assessed an "Unknown Past Performance" rating c. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. d. If the lowest priced evaluated quoter is judged to have a "Sufficient Past Performance" rating and meets all the salient characteristics, that quote represents the best value to the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. e. The government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter if the lowest priced quoter is judged to have a performance confidence assessment other than "Sufficient Past Performance" or when it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. f. Quoters are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in their quote preparation instructions. Quoters may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. FAR 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions-Commercial Items (May 2014) applies to this acquisition.
