Past performance is evaluated for specific areas of cost, delivery, management or technical.
Only those acquisitions that are recent and relevant to the current acquisition are evaluated. For instance, if the acquisition requires delivery or radios only those past contracts requiring delivery of radios is evaluated. Past contracts requiring the delivery of tires would NOT be evaluated. This distinction is importance since many defense contractors are multi-divisional and manufacture diverse product lines in various geographic locations. Past performance information is provided by the offeror as part of their proposal submission.
