The proposal contains inconsistencies, weaknesses, and significant deficiencies. Only applies to Past Performance Acceptable (A). The Offeror lacks past performance information in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The intent of this rating is not to penalize the Offeror for no past performance as a Prime A-E/contractor. It may have past performance serving as a sub-contractor/consultant. Therefore, the Government will determine the Offeror to have an "Unknown" past performance. In the context of acceptability / unacceptability for past performance, "Unknown" shall be considered "Acceptable." The PRIMARY selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Criteria "a." through "e." are considered primary. Criteria "f." through "g." are considered secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among highly qualified firms that are ranked technically equal using the primary criteria. a. Specialized Experience and Technical Qualifications: (1) The evaluation will consider the extent of the offeror's experience of the prime firm and sub-consultants for the services described in paragraph 2 "Project Information." SF330 requirement(s): A maximum of seven (7) example projects may be submitted for consideration under SF330, Part I, Section F.
