A negative determination in the post-qualification could lead to the rejection of the Proposal and the MCA Entity may, at its discretion, move to invite the next-ranked Consultant for negotiation. Past Performance In accordance with the MCC PPG, the Consultant’s and Reference performance on earlier contracts will be considered a factor in the MCA Entity’s qualification of the Consultant’s evaluation. The MCA Entity reserves the right to check the performance references provided by the Consultant or to use any other source at the MCA Entity’s discretion. If the Consultant (including any of its Associates or joint venture/association members) is or has been party to an MCC-funded contract (either with MCC directly or with any MCA Entity, anywhere in the world), whether as lead Consultant, affiliate, Associate, subsidiary, Sub-Consultant, or in any other role, the Consultant must identify the contract in its list of references submitted with its Proposal using Technical Form TECH-5B: References of MCC-Funded Contracts. Failure to include any such contracts may be used to form a negative determination by the MCA Entity on the Consultant’s record of performance in prior contracts. However, the failure to list any contracts because the Consultant (including any of its Associates or joint venture/association members) has not been a party to any such contract will not be grounds for a negative determination by the MCA Entity on the Consultant’s record of performance in prior contracts. That is, prior performance in connection with an MCC-funded contract is not required. The MCA Entity will check the references, including the Consultant’s past performance reports filed in MCC’s Contractor Past Performance Reporting System (“CPPRS”). A negative determination by the MCA Entity on the Consultant’s record of performance in prior contracts may be a reason for disqualification of the Consultant, or lowered evaluation scores, at the discretion of the MCA Entity.
