Accordingly, each offeror is required to submit a list of up to five of its most recent contracts within the past three years for the same or similar products. 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 and/or other information obtained by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or securing any information not furnished with the offer. The SSA/Contracting Officer may, however, utilize all available information, including information not provided by the offeror, in the past performance evaluation. The Government reserves the right to review less than all information submitted, and to only analyze sufficient information to make a reasonable determination of each offeror's past performance rating. If insufficient information regarding the offeror's corporate history is available, the offeror is encouraged to submit for evaluation evidence of relevant past performance on the part of the offeror's key/principal employees, as either a prime- or sub-contractor. 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, neither favorable nor unfavorable, unfavorable, highly unfavorable, or no same or similar history. Offerors who do not have same or similar past performance information reasonably available to the Contracting Officer will not be rated either favorable or unfavorable. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced offer as set forth elsewhere in the solicitation. 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. Selection for award will be based on price and past performance.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. (b) deleted this paragraph (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The term "residual dollar amount" shall include all money that would otherwise be owed to either part at the end of the contract except that, amounts connected in any way with taxation, allegations of fraud and/or antitrust violations shall be excluded.
