This document is a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2) issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) under solicitation number 9531BM26Q0028 for Laboratory Furniture. The form is designed to collect feedback from references regarding an offeror's historical performance. The questionnaire requires reference contacts to identify the offeror, describe the type of work performed, and evaluate the contractor across several key performance areas. These evaluation areas include the quality of performance and workmanship, adherence to contract schedules, and overall customer satisfaction, including cooperative behavior and business professionalism. Finally, the evaluator must indicate whether they would award the contractor another contract and provide a brief explanation. Completed questionnaires must be returned directly to the designated NTSB Contracting Officer, Matt Hazlinsky, via email.
