Past Performance. Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine ability to perform the requirements. The quote will be evaluated on the offeror’s business practices, customer relationship, and ability to successfully perform as proposed. In assessing performance, the evaluator may (1) evaluate present and past performance information through the use of questionnaires completed by the offeror’s references; (2) use data independently obtained from other government or commercial sources such as Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other data bases; (3) interviews with Program/Project Managers, Contracting Officers or rely upon personal business experience with the offeror; and (4) consider any information the offeror submits which explains any problems encountered on the identified contract and the offeror’s correction actions.

The Government may award to other than the lowest price quote. The perceived benefits of the higher priced quote may merit the additional cost.
