ATTACHMENT 6, the Specialized Experience Form, is a crucial document for government RFPs, grants, and state/local RFPs, designed to gather detailed information about a contractor's relevant project experience. It requires applicants to provide contract details such as the number, project title, award value, and performance period. The form distinguishes between prime and subcontractor roles, requesting the percentage of work completed if a subcontractor. Key information includes the agency's name, address, and point of contact. A detailed description of project responsibilities is mandatory. The form also assesses project relevance, specifically looking for experience in constructing duplexes or similar structures, and projects of similar size and complexity. For joint ventures, it mandates disclosure of prior collaboration and submission of the joint venture agreement. This form ensures that bidding entities possess the necessary experience and qualifications for the proposed government contract.

The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) Form is a critical component for federal government solicitations, such as Solicitation 75H70125R00076 and 75H70125R00039, designed to evaluate contractor experience and performance. This form requires contractors to provide detailed information about their company, the nature of work performed (prime, sub, joint venture), contract specifics, and a project description highlighting its relevance. Clients are then responsible for completing sections that rate the contractor's performance across various categories including Quality, Schedule/Timeliness, Customer Satisfaction, Management/Personnel/Labor, Cost/Financial Management, and Safety/Security. The questionnaire utilizes a defined rating system (Exceptional, Very Good, Satisfactory, Marginal, Unsatisfactory, Not Applicable) with clear justifications for each. Clients are encouraged to submit the completed PPQ directly to the offeror for inclusion in their proposal, though direct submission to IHS is also an option. The government reserves the right to verify all submitted information, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of performance risk for future contracts.

The Indian Health Service (IHS) requires offerors to self-certify as an "Indian Economic Enterprise" (IEE) under the Buy Indian Act (25 U.S.C. 47) for solicitations, sources sought, RFIs, and resultant contracts.
