Acceptance of the standard commercial warranty does not waive the Government's rights under the "Inspection" clause nor does it limit the Government's rights with regard to the other terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of a conflict, the terms and conditions of the contract shall take precedence over the standard commercial warranty. The standard commercial warranty period shall begin upon final acceptance of the applicable material and/or services listed in the Schedule. The contractor shall provide a copy of its standard commercial warranty (if applicable) with its offer. The warranty covers a period of months. (Offeror is to insert number.) (t) PAST PERFORMANCE During the source selection process, the Government will assess the offeror's past performance in the evaluation for contract award. Accordingly, each offeror is required to submit a list of its five most recent contracts for the same or similar items. It is preferred that these contracts be with U.S. government customers, but contracts with other commercial concerns are also acceptable. Offerors are authorized to provide information relative to any problems encountered on the identified contracts and any corrective actions taken by the offeror. The Source Selection Authority (SSA)/Contracting Officer will evaluate the offeror's past performance; based upon the information furnished by the offeror, or other information obtained by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or securing any information not identified in the offer. The SSA/Contracting Officer may, however, utilize all available information, including information not provided by the offeror, in the past performance evaluation. Past performance is assessed by the SSA/Contracting Officer and is assigned a narrative rating in the evaluation. Each offeror will be given an adjectival rating on past performance: highly favorable, favorable, unfavorable, or highly unfavorable. Offerors who do not have same or similar past performance information reasonably available to the Contracting Officer will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably. Offerors without corporate past performance history are encouraged to submit past performance information, or key personnel data, previous subcontracting experience, etc. for the Government to evaluate. In the event there are substantial differences among the offerors in terms of past performance, the Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offer in favor of an offeror with substantially better performance history. In addition, the Government may accept other than the lowest priced offer if doing so would result in greater value to the Government in terms of technical performance, quality, reliability, life cycle cost, or lower overall program risk. As a part of the past performance evaluation, the Government will assess the offeror's previous compliance with the requirements of FAR 52.219-8 and 52.219-9 as applicable. Small disadvantaged business concerns may receive evaluation preference as provided elsewhere in this solicitation.
