The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers, in descending order of importance: (i) Past Performance -- each offeror will be evaluated on his/her performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services. The Government will focus on information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. References other than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the Government with the information received used in the evaluation of the offer's past performance. (ii) Experience -- offerors shall submit a list of at least three similar contracts completed during the past three years (with at least one year of performance completed on each) and all contracts currently in process. Contracts listed may include those with the Federal Government, agencies of state and local Government's and commercial customers.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
