Please follow these instructions to successfully add non-federal projects to your Company Assets in Symphony.

Step 1. Go to Projects 

Step 2. Start Your Project Reference

Step 3. Upload all your Project Documents

Step 4. Complete Your Project Details

Step 5. Review and Complete

1. Go to Projects 

Navigate to My Company and select the Projects/Past Performance tab. 

Click the +New Project Experience button to add projects to your company assets before starting your proposal.
 

2. Start Your Project Reference

To start your project reference, provide the requested information. New Projects are entered by filling in the fields and following the steps relating to your Project References, Documents, and Details. 

The first three options are not Federal Contract Types. They are Commercial and Other Types.

• State/International/Non-US Fed Govt/Commercial Projects
• First-Tier Other Than Small Subcontractor to a US Federal Govt Contract
• First-Tier Small Subcontractor to a US Federal Govt Contract

State/International/Non-US Fed Govt/Commercial Projects allow you to enter the name of the customer that the project was for.

• If you are adding a project where you performed as a subcontractor, since you are not contracting directly to the government, this would be considered a commercial project.  You would then enter your subcontract information and you would be the Team Member on your contract.

First-Tier Other Than Small Subcontractor to a US Federal Government Contract allows you to enter the name of the customer that the project was for and applies to companies that are Other than Small Businesses (OTSB). The customer is usually the Prime contractor that had the privity of contract with the government, and then the Federal department name and agency that their contract was with can be selected.

First-Tier Small Subcontractor to a US Federal Government Contract allows you to enter the name of the customer that the project was for and applies to Small Businesses. The customer is usually the Prime contractor that had the privity of contract with the government, and then the department name and agency name that their contract was with can be selected. 

In Commercial and Other Types of contracts, the prime contractor field is now the "Team Member who performed the work on this project".

• Add Team Members or MRCLs to My Company > Team Members or My Company > MRCLs so they will be available for reference as the Team member who performed the work in the Project entry screen. 
  • If you are using a subcontractor's projects and they were the primes on those projects, you would need to add them as team members.
  • All Team Members or MRCLs that will be part of an offer must be added to Symphony using a UEI and Cage. 
• If you managed subcontractors on a project where you were the prime, you do not need to add them as team members. You only need to upload the supporting document in the respective project.
• If you are claiming experience as the prime on your project with a previous Joint Venture, you do not need to add them as team members. You only need to upload the supporting documents in the respective project showing your relationship and the verification of the portion of work performed.

3. Upload all your Project Documents

Use descriptive file names that explain what information is contained in the documents that support your claims. Uploaded files should have annotations (“tags”). Please reference the Symphony Tagging folder for more information. Some recommended tags are:

• Use the File Reference field to direct the evaluators to the relevant project document.
• Use simple “tags” to make this process easier for yourself and the evaluators.
• You cannot rename or tag your files in Symphony. This must be done outside of Symphony and then re-uploaded.

4. Complete Your Project Details

When you add Projects to My Company, all the project details entered will be considered against the scorecard as they apply once the project is added to a proposal and additional Performance Factors are claimed. Some project details are optional but may be required in future solicitations. If a question is not related to the solicitation then it is not a requirement and is not scored. You can choose to ignore them. The solicitation should always be used as the source of truth. 

5. Review and Complete

Review the project's general information and documentation. Save and Complete to add the project.

• A table will display the added Projects/Past Performance and the ability to view, edit, or delete them from your company assets. Use the Project title as a link to review the general information and documentation. 

Next Steps

1. Return to the Dashboard and go to the Solicitations tab to add projects to your submission. 
2. Performance Factors will then be available for additional scoring elements.
