| PAST PERFORMANCE | THE PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE MUST BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PAST PERFORMANCE QUESTIONNAIRE FORM. The Government will evaluate past performance for relevant efforts, to reflect success in the requirement and the degree to which the evaluation of past performance reflects a history of customer satisfaction and collaboration. Past performance information will be utilized to determine the quality of the Offeror’s past performance as it relates to the probability of success of the required effort. A lack of recent and relevant past performance will be evaluated as neutral. |

As used in this provision— Reverse auction means the process for obtaining pricing, usually supported by an electronic tool, in which offerors see competing offerors' price(s), without disclosure of the competing offerors' identity, and have the opportunity to submit lower priced offers until the close of the auction. Reverse auction service provider means a commercial or Government entity that provides a means for conducting reverse auctions when acquiring supplies or services to be used by the Government.

The Offeror may withdraw its agreement to further participate in the process by withdrawing its offer before the close of the auction by notifying the Contracting Officer via the contact method identified in the solicitation. (d) Only one offer. If the reverse auction produces only one offer, the Government reserves the right to cancel the auction. (e) Release of information. The Government may use a reverse auction service provider to conduct the reverse auction. Any price or proposal information or source selection information received by the reverse auction service provider in relation to the reverse auction shall not be released, outside of the Government, unless otherwise required by law.

Price or proposal information includes, but is not limited to— (1) Contractor bid or proposal information, as defined at Federal Acquisition Regulation 3.104-1; and (2) Information identified by the Offeror as restricted from duplication, use, or disclosure—in whole or in part—for any purpose other than to evaluate the Offeror's price or proposal.
