Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire designed to gather feedback from organizations that have worked with offerors. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses this information to evaluate an offeror's ability to perform on the proposed Furniture Repair Services contract for the Detroit VAMC. The questionnaire helps the VA assess the offeror's past performance on similar contracts or work efforts.

• Contract Identification: Details about the contract being reviewed, including contractor name, cage code, contract number, type, program title, period of performance, and dollar value.
• Customer/Agency Identification: Information about the customer or agency for whom the work was performed.
• Respondent Identification: Details about the person completing the questionnaire.
• Performance Information: A rating scale (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, N/A) and specific questions to assess the contractor's performance in areas such as management, personnel, quality control, problem-solving, schedule adherence, responsiveness, and overall performance.
• Specific Questions: Includes inquiries about cure/show cause notices and willingness to award future contracts.
• Small Business Subcontracting: Questions regarding compliance with FAR clauses related to small business subcontracting plans.

Offerors should be aware that their past performance will be evaluated. This questionnaire is the tool used by the government to collect that information from past customers. Understanding the questions asked will help offerors anticipate the type of feedback that will be sought and potentially prepare their own internal documentation or points of contact for references. The VA requests responses by March 5, 2026, 12 PM EST, and they can be emailed to elizabeth.koses@va.gov.
