For past project performed as a subcontractor/team member, the quoter must include in its past project description its role, details of the precise work that it performed (as opposed to that performed by the prime contractor), and the percentage of work that it performed. For Quoters/subcontractors that are newly formed entities (in existence less than three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation) who either have no prior contracts or do not possess relevant corporate experience/past performance, but have key personnel with relevant experience/past performance while employed by another company, the quality of such key personnel�s experience/past performance, as verified by DOS, may be considered if the submitted past project involves the key personnel performing the same role currently being proposed on this acquisition and this performance occurred during the past three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. If this scenario applies to the quoter, the quoter shall explain on the past project form that the project was not performed by the quoter but by its key personnel, and shall detail the key personnel that worked on the project, their role, and the proposed role on the solicited requirement. Note that only three total past projects shall be submitted, no matter if they are submitted for quoter (proposed prime contractor), subcontractor or key personnel.� All emails regarding this solicitation shall include the solicitation in the subject line.
