Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.” Any past performance that is found to be “negative”, shall result in the entire Past Performance rating as “Unacceptable” making the overall Technical Acceptability as “Unacceptable”. The rating will be acceptable or Unacceptable.
