Step one of the procurement will result in the identification of the most highly qualified prospective offerors who have expressed an interest in providing the facility and in the establishment of a competitive range based on past performance . The Government reserves the right to establish the competitive range based on initial Information Packages; if discussions are necessary, they will be conducted on behalf of the Government by the GSA Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer determines the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number thatwill permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. The Government has prepared detailed Project Programs Documents for the laboratory facility. As part of the rental consideration, the successful Offeror shall provide all design and engineering services required to adapt the Government- furnished Project Program to the site and all construction services required to construct the laboratory facility.

Only properly completed packages will be evaluated and considered in the establishment of a competitive range; preprinted brochures will not be considered. The Government will conduct a performance risk assessment based upon pastperformance as it relates to the probability of successfully performing the solicitation requirements. In conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided by the offeror and data obtained by other sources. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing current and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. Copies of the Project Program documents will be made available during Step 2 of the procurement to those Offerors who are in the competitive range following completion of Step 1. However, the Project Program Documents will not be distributed at this time and the information that the documents contain is not necessary for preparing a response to the Information Package.
