The Government will review and evaluate each firm?s (offeror) documented past performance and will rate them as acceptable or unacceptable. By acceptable past performance, the Government means that the offeror has a good reputation for satisfying its customers and delivering quality work in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. Acceptable past performance also means the firm has a reputation of integrity, reasonable and cooperative conduct, and commitment to customer satisfaction.

The Government will evaluate past performance information and will rate the firms as pass or fail. In the event that a firm does not have a record of relevant past performance, or information on past performance is not available, the firm will not be evaluated favorable or unfavorably on this technical evaluation factor. Rather the offeror will be given a neutral rating.
