Beginning with the technically acceptable, lowest priced offeror, the Contracting Officer shall seek recent and relevant performance information on offerors based on the past efforts provided by the offeror and data independently obtained from other Government and commercial sources.

Award will be made to the vendor who is determined to be technically acceptable, represents the lowest price, and is rated as having substantial confidence performance rating. The Government will treat an offeror whose confidence as unknown as equal to limited confidence. Performance confidence levels are defined as follows: PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENTS Rating Description 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. 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. UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (NEUTRAL): 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. In evaluating past performance, the government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this solicitation. If the lowest priced evaluated offer is determined technically acceptable and is judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers. If the lowest priced offeror determined technically acceptable is not judged to have a “Substantial Confidence” performance assessment, the next Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror is judged to have a “Satisfactory Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Contracting Officer shall then make an integrated best value award decision. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in the preparation instructions to permit a meaningful assessment of past performance. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond.
