August 31, 2026
SITUATION CMMC implementation lead in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR has one working extract — past-performance recency and relevance scorecard — after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment. If past-performance recency and relevance scorecard cannot support the bid is compliant, the only defensible Government RFP output is hold.
DECISION CMMC implementation lead in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. CMMC implementation lead can defend Pursue from past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment in a Government RFP challenge. 2. CMMC implementation lead cannot defend Pursue from past-performance recency and relevance scorecard; Pursue with conditions is what the extract actually supports after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment. 3. A 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment never reached the population in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard — reopen intake, do not close the bid is compliant. 4. Two facts in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment conflict for CMMC implementation lead; hold this Capture and Pricing file.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the bid is compliant. 2. Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids. 3. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot waive quietly. 4. For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment and write the one fact that would move the bid is compliant for CMMC implementation lead.
RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what CMMC implementation lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Government RFP option on the bid is compliant, then the evidence in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard, then the action for CMMC implementation lead - Hypothesis scorecard against past-performance recency and relevance scorecard: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes the bid is compliant if a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment is later withdrawn - Named option among Pursue, Pursue with conditions, Partner and the fact that kills the others
