Sufficient information to determine the date of completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. Projects located throughout the Pacific AOR will be evaluated more favorably. If the firm was a subcontractor on the project, the offeror should specifically address the work performed by the firm. If the project detail does not clearly delineate the work performed by the offeror, the project will be evaluated less favorably. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted. All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office/individual team member proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from consideration in the evaluation.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or joint venture involving different partners; specifically indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by those firms on the project rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration. NOTE: If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint venture, submit projects performed by the individual partner entities of the JV. Firms failing to provide projects from all joint venture partners will be considered to have not met the requirements of the criterion. Projects shall be submitted on the SF-330 at Part I, Section F and shall be completed projects. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration.
