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.

If available, the offeror should 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.

Offerors who do not have same or similar past performance information reasonably available to the Contracting Officer will be rated neither favorably nor unfavorably.
