1.2 Background
The United States Government (USG) requires line haul transportation services to transport all classes of supply and
equipment in support of operations in Syria.

1.3 Scope
The Contractor shall provide non-personal service(s). Line haul services will be provided from EAB, Iraq, to

staging. At EAB, line haul services may transport cargo or trailers from the EAB Aerial Port of Debarkation
(APOD) to the SLC marshaling yard. Line haul services may be used in the ESSA to transport the below supply
categories from one location in the ESSA to another location in the ESSA (intra-theater movement). In addition, line
haul services may transport the below supply categories from the ESSA back to EAB.

Line haul services include transportation for supply classes I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and multi-class
cargo, with or without operators, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). Except for those items
specified as government-furnished property and services, the Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment,
supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary
to perform line haul services. The Contractor shall ensure the physical security, integrity, and safety of the
transported materials and equipment as specified by each defined SLH truck order. The Contractor’s performance
shall be monitored by the USG Contracting Officer (KO) and/or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The
Contractor shall provide transportation equipment and operator(s) within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving an
SLH truck order from the USG. The Contractor shall recover disabled equipment and/or cargo and repair and/or
replace disabled equipment per the PWS. The estimated quantity of work with the specific type of line haul
transportation will be defined on each truck order.

1.4 Objectives

classes of supply) in support of military operations in Syria.

1.5 Period of Performance

This requirement will have an ordering period of five years from 11 September 2023 to 10 September 2028. Period
of performance will begin once the first task order is issued.

1.6 General Information

1.6.1 Quality Control Plan (QCP)

The offeror shall submit a draft QCP to ensure services are performed in accordance with the PWS. The QCP shall
describe the procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure the non-recurrence of defective services. The QCP shall also
describe the procedures that address the areas identified in Technical Exhibit 1, “Performance Requirements
Summary (PRS)” of the PWS, and compliance with all the terms and conditions of Section 5, Specific Tasks, of the
PWS.

The Contractor’s Proposed QCP shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer (KO) for review with the Contractor’s
proposal.

The USG will review the QCP during evaluation. Once awarded, the USG will notify the Contractor in writing of
acceptance of the plan or return their comments to the Contractor within 10 days. If the USG has provided
comments, the Contractor shall have five days to submit a Final QCP. After receipt of the Final QCP, the Contractor
may receive the Contracting Officer’s acceptance in writing. Any proposed changes to the accepted QCP must be
resubmitted for approval by the Contracting Officer no later than 10 days before the anticipated change and before
implementation by the Contractor. The timeline noted above will apply for review and acceptance of proposed
changes. At a minimum, the QCP must include and answer the following to be acceptable:

responsibilities, and classification of each member of the Contractor's Quality Control Team;

(b) How the Contractor will monitor work to ensure performance complies with all deliverables (etc.
timelines, deadlines, and goals);

(c) How the Contractor will monitor work to ensure performance complies with all specifications and
requirements of the contract, including the contract’s clauses;
 W56KGZ23R6000

Page 5 of 31

(d) How the Contractor will monitor and ensure staff qualifications remain current and valid including
Department of Defense (DoD) Contractor Personnel Office (DOCPER) processes/approvals throughout contract
performance;

(e) How the Contractor will ensure all keys issued will remain controlled items (Paragraph 1.7 Key
Control);

(f) How the Contractor will identify, investigate, and correct any non-conforming performance and prevent
similar deficiencies in the future; and

(g) How the Contractor will file and save all Quality Control related documents for the life of the contract
plus five years.

1.6.2 Quality Assurance

The USG will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance
Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan primarily focuses on what the USG must do to ensure that the Contractor has
performed according to the performance standards. In addition, it defines how the performance standards will be
applied, the frequency of surveillance, and the acceptable quality levels (performance thresholds).

1.6.3 Recognized Holidays

The following provides information on recognized holidays. If the submittal of any documentation (e.g.,
deliverables, submittals, etc.) deadlines fall on a holiday, the closest work day before the holiday will apply as the
deadline for submittal.

During the performance of this contract, the USG does not recognize any local holidays. Work shall be performed
on local Host Nation holidays unless otherwise directed by the KO.

1.6.4 Operating Hours

The USG facility office hours, facility operating hours, and the Contractor support hour requirements often coincide;
however, they may differ. Please refer to the following.

1.6.4.1 Government Facility Office Hours

The USG facility office hours are typically 0800-1700 daily, Monday through Saturday; however, SLH
transportation occurs on a rolling schedule, and the COR will always ensure phone/email contact accessibility and
facilities access when required for successful SLH transportation operations.

1.6.4.2 Government Facility Operating Hours

The USG facility office hours are typically 0800-1700 daily, Monday through Saturday; however, SLH
transportation occurs on a rolling schedule, with operations beginning as early as 0600 on load and push days,
including weekend days. Therefore, the COR will always ensure phone/email contact accessibility and facility
access when required for successful SLH transportation operations.

1.6.4.3 Contractor Support Hours

The Contractor shall provide support twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, throughout the period of
performance. The Contractor shall maintain an adequate workforce at all times for the uninterrupted performance of
all tasks defined within this PWS. When hiring personnel, the Contractor shall keep in mind that the stability and
continuity of the workforce are essential to mission success.

1.8 Security Requirements

The following information is provided on security related matters.

1.8.1 Security Program

Contractor personnel performing work under this contract must be screened and approved for work with the USG at
time of the proposal submission, and must maintain the level of security required for the life of the contract. The
security requirements are IAW with the DoD Contract Security Classification Specification (DD Form 254), which
is currently accessible at the following link: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/forms/eforms/dd0254.pdf

1.8.1.1 General Protection / Security Policy and Procedures

The Contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background
checks to meet installation access requirements specified by the Installation Provost Marshal Office, the Base
Defense Office, the Base Operations Support and Integration (BOS-I) Office, and the Operation Inherent Resolve
(OIR) Combat Sustainment Support Battalion (CSSB) S2 Intelligence Section. The Contractor and all associated
subcontractor employees shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements (FAR clause 52.204- 9,
Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel) as directed by DOD, HQDA, and/or local policy. In addition
to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition
(FPCON) at any individual facility or installation change, the USG may require changes in Contractor security
matters or processes.

1.8.2 Installation Access:

The Contractor and all subordinate personnel must maintain the ability to access EAB, Iraq; must maintain the
ability to access delivery destinations and navigate throughout Syria as required; and must meet the approval of base
access/clearance for all drivers (e.g., Asayish screenings and U.S. Counter Intelligence Support Team [CIST]
reviews). To gain access to EAB, all Contractor employees/drivers shall undergo a background check and enroll in
the installation biometrics database. All Contractor personnel, including subcontractors, requiring entry to any
installation shall request and coordinate directly with the COR. The Contractor shall ensure EAB security access
requirements are known and briefed to its employees. Access to U.S. installations, buildings, and controlled areas is
limited to personnel who meet security criteria and are authorized by Host Nation law to work in that country.
Failure to submit required information/data and obtain required documentation or clearances will be grounds for
denying access to U.S. installations, buildings, and controlled areas. The Contractor shall ensure that any
subcontractors used in the performance of this contract comply with these requirements and that all employees of
both the Contractor and any subcontractor utilized by the Contractor are made aware of and comply with these
requirements.
The Contractor’s employees will receive an access badge and an “escort required” pass at the EAB Security
checkpoint after receiving clearance from the EAB security teams, which consists of screening and enrollment at the
OIR CSSB biometrics (bio) shed and identity verification at the USG Gatekeeper on-the-Move Biometrics (GOTM-
B) station. The Contractor will collect all driver and supervisor phones for turn-in on load day/day three at the OIR
CSSB bio shed. All drivers’ phones must have a valid driver identification card/license attached by a band or stored
together in an unsealed bag. Depending on the situation, the OIR CSSB S2 will return all phones upon driver release
at the SLC marshaling yard or OIR CSSB bio shed. The Contractor and subcontractor employees must check into
the OIR CSSB bio shed for initial screening and enrollment in the biometrics system on EAB. The Contractor
drivers/trucks will be escorted onto EAB and to the SLC yard by USG personnel. The Contractor shall prohibit the
use of installation access badges by any persons other than the Contractor’s employees. The Contractor shall
develop procedures covering badge control that shall be included in the QCP. Such procedures shall include the
turn-in of any issued badges by employees who no longer require access to the installation. The Contractor shall
immediately report any occurrences of a lost badge to the COR. All personnel working on behalf of the Contractor
shall have a USG or installation-approved escort when visiting inside designated offices or other USG Installation
facilities. All driver replacements and substitutions must be communicated as quickly as possible to the OIR CSSB
 W56KGZ23R6000

Page 7 of 31

S2 to ensure sufficient time for driver background checks and CIST screenings. The OIR CSSB S2 retains the right
to deny vehicle and driver access to the Syrian Line Haul mission for security concerns.

The Contractor shall be aware of and comply with the requirements associated with Installation Access Control. The
USG is not liable for any costs related to performance delays due solely to a firm’s failure to comply with
Installation Access Control System (IACS) processing requirements.

The Contractor shall return installation passes to the issuing IACS office when the contract is completed or when a
Contractor employee no longer requires access.

1.8.2.1 Vehicle and Driver Assignment / Identification

Within eight hours of receiving a truck order from the COR, the Contractor will provide the COR and OIR CSSB S2
with a list of drivers, vehicles, and other applicable information that will be used during the execution of the truck
order. This will initiate the process of obtaining installation access clearance where necessary. The list shall identify
the driver’s name, any aliases for the driver, driver’s date of birth, driver’s birth location (town/city), driver’s phone
number, driver’s nationality, driver’s tribe, driver’s local governmental identification number, vehicle type, vehicle
year, make, and model, vehicle plate number, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) along with owner/company
name. Any changes to the list must be coordinated and communicated to the SLH COR and OIR CSSB S2 as the
changes occur.

1.8.2.2 Installation Pass Log

In addition, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer, via the COR, an initial installation pass log within
three (3) days after contract award. Installation passes are intended for the Contractor’s management/supervisory
personnel, not every driver. The log must, at a minimum, contain the following information: the driver’s name, any
aliases for the driver, the driver’s date of birth, the driver’s birth location (town/city), the driver’s phone number, the
driver’s nationality, the driver’s tribe, the driver’s local governmental identification number, vehicle type, vehicle
year, make, and model, vehicle plate number, VIN, owner/company name, and dates driver entered/exited EAB. The
log shall be updated as employees are added or removed. The updated installation pass log shall be current and
available at any time upon request by the USG and submitted to the COR within five days after any changes to the
log.

1.8.2.3 Individual Termination or Expiration of Employment

The Contractor shall collect the installation access passes the same day employment of an individual has expired or
has been terminated and shall return them to the issuing office within one day.

1.8.2.4 Contract Termination or Cancellation

Upon termination or cancellation of this contract, the Contractor shall collect all outstanding installation access
passes and return them to the issuing office within three days.

1.8.3 Local Nationals and Third Country Nationals

Local national and third-country national Contractors providing SLH transportation services require background
checks as determined by the USG. At a minimum, before beginning performance, Contractors employing local
national and third-country nationals shall furnish the Contracting Officer via the COR with current documents
required for working on a US installation no later than during the post-award meeting. In addition, forwarding
correspondence from the Contractors shall identify the associated contract number.

1.8.4 Physical Security

The Contractor shall safeguard all USG equipment, information, and property provided for Contractor use. At no
additional cost to the USG, the Contractor shall ensure that all USG property in possession or custody of the
Contractor is properly secured and always safeguarded. The Contractor shall implement security measures to
safeguard and protect USG cargo and property against unauthorized access, theft, misuse, damage, and harm. In the
event of an identified threat to an installation, or a heightened force protection, the Contractor and/or its associated
subcontractor may be required to adjust delivery routes to minimize vulnerability risks and enable direct delivery to
Department of Defense (DoD) facilities. The Contractor shall be held accountable for compensating the USG for
any equipment lost, stolen, and/or damaged.
 W56KGZ23R6000

Page 8 of 31

1.8.4.1 Covered Trucks and Sensitive Cargo

USG will officially seal all Cover Trucks and Sensitive cargo before departing its origin. The tampering with and/or
breaking of this seal by any party other than the designated recipient is strictly prohibited. Once the cargo is loaded
and secured, drivers are permitted access to the cargo containers once arriving at the cargo’s final delivery
destination. Responsible Contractor employees appointed by the Contractor should carry additional seals.
Appointees will reseal trucks every time cargo is downloaded at a destination, but trucks are still carrying other
cargo for delivery to future destinations. Drivers caught in the cargo containers may be blacklisted from working
with any future USG line haul contract. Additionally, drivers delivering vehicles shall not retain the keys to
respective vehicles upon completed delivery. If the driver retains the keys and departs, the vendor will be charged
the cost of the replacement key and any other associated costs.

1.8.4.2 Class I Deliveries

For truck orders that require delivery of food and water, the Contractor and associated sub-contractor employees
delivering food and water within an Army-controlled installation, facility, or area under this contract shall transport
the supplies in delivery conveyances (trailers, vehicles, containers) maintained to prevent tampering, adulteration, or
contamination of the supplies. If applicable, refrigerated delivery conveyances shall be equipped to maintain a
temperature as required by the Schedule of Supplies/Services or as otherwise prescribed in the individual truck
orders. All delivery conveyances will be subject to inspection at all times and in all places by the KO, COR, and the
Base Veterinarian. When the sanitary conditions of the delivery conveyance(s) have led, or may lead to, product
contamination, adulteration, constitute a health hazard, the delivery conveyance is not equipped to maintain
prescribed temperatures, or the transport results in the product "unfit for intended purpose," supplies tendered for
acceptance may be rejected without further inspection. As the holder of a contract with the DoD, the Contractor
shall ensure that all products and/or packaging have not been tampered with or contaminated. Delivery conveyances
will always be locked or sealed except when actively loading or unloading. All incoming drivers and operators shall
provide adequate identification upon request.

1.8.4.3 Load Securing Equipment

The Contractor shall ensure that cargo on lowboy or flatbed trailers is properly secured per U.S. Surface
Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) PAM 55-20 Tie-down Handbook for Truck Movements.

1.8.4.4 Passengers
The Contractor shall not allow passengers to travel in vehicles that are performing work as part of the SLH
transportation contract. Each truck will retain the same driver for the entirety of the SLH convoy.

1.8.5 Operations Security (OPSEC) Requirements

Contractor personnel shall adhere to facility security policies and restrictions. The Contractor shall immediately
report suspicious activities to security personnel. USG issued access badges shall not be worn outside designated
facilities where visible to the general public.

1.9 Post-Award Conference/Periodic Progress Meetings

The Contractor shall attend any post-award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract
administration office in accordance with FAR Subpart 42.5. As appropriate, the KO, COR, and other USG personnel
may meet periodically with the Contractor to review the Contractor's performance. At these meetings, the KO will
apprise the Contractor of how the USG views the Contractor's performance, and the Contractor shall advise the USG
of problems, if any, being experienced. Appropriate action shall be taken to resolve outstanding issues. These
meetings shall be at no additional cost to the USG.

1.9.1 Communication/Information Meetings

The Contractor shall attend, participate in, and furnish input to scheduled and unscheduled meetings, conferences,
and briefings related to the functions and services herein as required by the USG to provide effective communication
and impart necessary information. In addition, the Contract Manager or designated representative shall attend
meetings as requested by the USG. Meeting attendees shall, at times, include Contractor managerial, supervisory,
and other personnel knowledgeable of the subject matter. Meetings may start or end outside of regular duty hours.

1.10 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR)

Refer to Part 2 of this PWS for the definition of a COR. As determined by the Contracting Officer, a COR will be
appointed and identified by a letter of designation, a copy of which will be provided to the Contractor by the KO.
The designation letter states the COR's responsibilities and limitations, especially concerning cost or price changes,
estimates, or delivery dates. The COR is not authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the resulting
order. The COR monitors all technical aspects of the contract and assists in contract administration. The COR is not

Manages. The Contractor shall provide a Contract Manager who shall be responsible for the performance of the
work. The name of this person and an Alternate Contract Manager, who shall act for the Contractor when the
Contract Manager is absent, along with a Curriculum Vitae (CV) for each of these individuals, shall be provided in
writing to the Contracting Officer no later than during the post-award meeting. The Contract Manager and Alternate
Contract Manager shall have full authority to act for the Contractor on all contract matters relating to the daily

acquired by, the USG and subsequently furnished to the Contractor for performance of a contract. Government-
furnished property includes, but is not limited to, spares and property furnished for repair, maintenance, overhaul, or
modification. Government-furnished property also includes contractor-acquired property if the contractor-acquired
property is a deliverable under a cost contract when accepted by the USG for continued use under the contract

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

52.212-2 ADDENDUM
ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercia Products and Commercial Services

Basis for Award: Trade-Off

1. Award will made using FAR 15 to a single offeror who is deemed responsible, whose proposal conforms to the
solicitation, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the factors and sub factors evaluation criteria
and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the best value.
2. Trade-offs between price and non-price factors are permitted. Inaccurate or incomplete price proposals may be
grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.
3. All responsive proposals will be evaluated for priced and non-priced factors using adjectival rankings.
4. Discussions: As set forth in FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a single
contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and
 W56KGZ23R6000

Page 28 of 31

award without discussions); however, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions if later determined by
the Contracting Officer to be in the best interest of the Government. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should
contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to seek
clarification of an offer/proposal if the Contracting Officer (KO) determines clarification necessary.
5. Evaluation Procedure will be as follows:
a. All proposals will be reviewed for timeliness. If the proposal is received after the closing date, the proposal
will not be opened.
b. Timely proposals will be reviewed for compliance to the solicitation. If the proposal does not comply with
the requirements of the solicitation, the proposal will not be evaluated further and the offeror will be notified
that the proposal is non-compliant.
c. All responsive proposals will be evaluated for price and non-priced will be evaluated using adjectival ratings
being assigned for all non-price factors.
d. All responsive and responsible proposals will be evaluated for past performance. Past performance
information is one indicator of an offeror’s ability to perform the contract 41 successfully.
e. The Government reserves the right to refrain from awarding to any offeror in the event that all offerors
progressing beyond the evaluation are determined to have offered pricing that is not considered fair and
reasonable. The award shall be based on the best value. To arrive at an award decision, the Contracting
Officer (KO) will integrate the evaluation results based on the identified evaluation factors. To be eligible
for award, a proposal must be deemed responsive, having met the requirements of all factors and subfactors
(Technical Factor and Subfactors, Past Performance, and Price), and have a rating no worse that marginal on
any factor.
f. Non-price factors when combined is approximately equal in importance to price. Therefore, Factor I is
equal to Factor III and Factor II is approximately equal to Factor I & III combined. Each subfactor of Factor
I are equal in weight when combining to determine the adjectival rating for Factor I.
g. The Government will conduct evaluations using the best value approach and may utilize FAR 15 for
Evaluation Approach and Factors for Award, considering solely the offeror’s response to this RFP. The
offeror shall submit a proposal which demonstrates its ability to perform and meet the requirements in the
PWS. If an offeror provides a proposal which merely repeats the PWS without elaboration, or fails to present
more than a statement indicating its capability to comply with the RFP terms with no support or detail how
they will perform, the offeror will be determined non-responsive and removed from consideration for award.
By responding to this RFP, the offeror agrees to meet all the requirements incorporated herein, including
those listed in the PWS and any applicable attachments.
6. Evaluation Factors:
1. Three (3) factors with three (3) subfactors will be used to evaluate offeror’s proposals:
a. Factor I: Technical
i. Subfactor 1: Technical Approach
ii. Subfactor 2: Quality Control Plan
iii. Subfactor 3: Pilferage Plan
b. Factor II: Price
c. Factor III: Past Performance
A. Factor I: Technical
The Government will evalute and assign the combined Technical Subfactor according to Table 2 and assign a rating
to each subfactor according to Table 3.

no worse than moderate.
Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of
the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains
one or more deficiencies and is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is
unacceptably high.

Table 3
Adjectival Rating Description
Outstanding Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the
requirements, contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant
strength.

Good Proposal demonstrates a thorough approach and understanding of the

requirements and contains at least one strength or significant strength.

Acceptable Proposal demonstrates an adequate approach and understanding of the

requirements.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of

the requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains
one or more deficiencies and is un-awardable.

Subfactor 1: Technical Approach

The Government will evaluate all responsive and responsible offeror’s technical approach to ensure it demonstrates
a clear understanding of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and provides evidence of the ability to accomplish
all such requirements. The approach must demonstrate how the contractor will successfully complete the tasks and
the technical requirements of the PWS and key personnel requirements.
Note: Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the specifications, and phrases such as
“standard procedures will be employed” or “well” known techniques will be used” etc. will be considered
unsatisfactory.
Subfactor 2: Quality Control Plan (QCP)
The Government will evaluate the Quality Control Plan (QCP) to confirm procedures to identify, prevent, and
ensure non-recurrence of defective services as well as 44 these procedures address the areas identified in Technical
Exhibit 1, “Performance Requirements Summary (PRS)” of the PWS and comply with all the terms and conditions
of the Part 5, Specific Tasks of the PWS.
Subfactor 3: Pilferage Plan
The Government will evaluate the Pilferage Plan to ensure the offeror submits a Pilferage Plan that adequately
outlines the offeror’s strategy to monitor the transportation process for potential pilferage opportunities at origins,
along routes, and at destinations, incident-reporting procedures, and strategy for the immediate recovery of pilfered
assets.
B. Factor II: Price
 W56KGZ23R6000

Page 30 of 31

The price will be evaluated for all responsive and responsible offeror. The Government will evaluate offeror’s price
to determine fair and reasonableness.
Total Evaluated Price (TEP):
The estimated amount proposed Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance, Contract Line Item Number 0006 will not be
evaluated nor included in the TEP; however, the cost of DBA insurance will be included in the total contract
amount.
Reasonableness: For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person
would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Government will determine price fair and reasonableness
using one or more of the price analysis techniques at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Generally, prices offered in anticipation
of price competition are reasonable.
C. Factor III: Past Performance
Past performance is a measure of the degree to which an offeror, as an organization, has satisfied its customers, and
efficiently and effectively managed their contracts on projects of similar scope and magnitude. Past performance
history will be used to gauge the level of risk. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s probability
of successfully performing the required effort as indicated by: (1) past performance reference provided by the
offeror (at a minimum, the information required to complete “Attachment 03 - Experience Information Sheet”), (2)
Past performance questionnaires (pages 1-3 of “Attachment 02 – Past Performance”) and (3) data independently
obtained from other Government and commercial sources available.
i. Recent past performance is determined to be ongoing projects or projects completed within the last three
(3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation.
ii. Relevant past performance is determined to have combined present and past performance effort involved
similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.
iii. Offerors without a record of recent and relevant past performance or for whom information on past
performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably
assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the
offeror will be determined neutral. In the investigation of an offeror’s past performance, the Government
has the right to contact the former customers, government agencies, and other private and public sources of
information. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s Past Performance on an adjectival basis and assign
a rating as defined below in Table 1.

TABLE 1 – Past Performance

Rating Definition
Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the
Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully
perform the required effort.
Satisfactory Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the
Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will
successfully perform the required effort.
Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s
performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence
assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.
The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor
of past performance
Limited Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the
Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully
perform the required effort.
No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the
Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to
successfully perform the required effort.
