Past Performance Reference Sheet

Per-contract data sheet (customer POC, value, NAICS, period, relevance mapping)

What wins points

Provide concise, accurate past‑performance details that directly map contract work to solicitation requirements.

What gets bids disqualified

Missing or inaccurate data (e.g., no NAICS code, stale point‑of‑contact info) leads to non‑responsiveness and possible disqualification.

Evaluator's view

Verify the Past Performance Volume includes all required fields and clearly ties each contract to a solicitation requirement; incomplete entries are rejected outright.
