STOP LPTA BIDS

If your RFP has any performance evaluation standards yet has this in the standards as shown below:

"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 reasonable assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have “Unknown” past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable”."

ACTION

Then it looks like no past performance results in an acceptable rating (which makes the whole factor irrelevant and should have resulted in a protest because offerors with some past performance could have been found unacceptable while those with none were found acceptable.

Was there any minimum experience requirement in the technical factor?
