The offeror shall describe its past performance on directly related or similar contracts it has held within the last five (5) years which are of similar scope, magnitude and complexity to that which is detailed in the solicitation.

An offeror failing to provide the past performance information or to assert that is has no relevant directly related or similar past performance will be considered ineligible for award.

The evaluation will consider past performance equal in important to price. The Government reserves the right to award the contract to other than the lowest priced offeror.
