Situation

This Government RFP / Capture and Pricing close is Section M scoring math from protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors, and the live options are Pursue, Pursue with conditions, Partner.

Decision

CMMC implementation lead in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors already has the discriminator after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors is completed after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling for CMMC implementation lead.
• Treat protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors as Partner because both readings appear after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: CMMC implementation lead does not have the page Section M scoring math turns on in protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs Section M scoring math.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors against a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for CMMC implementation lead.
