Assess whether key personnel substitutions will trigger evaluation risk

Situation

An incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance cannot treat an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall as color commentary on OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate. Contracts officer supporting a bid must close key personnel substitutions will from that extract under Government RFP / Capture and Pricing.

Decision

Contracts officer supporting a bid in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall.

Hypotheses to test

• An OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall is noise around an already-controlled Capture and Pricing process in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance, given OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate.
• An OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall is the event in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate that forces Pursue for contracts officer supporting a bid under Government RFP.
• OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate shows a one-file miss after an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall, not a Capture and Pricing program failure.
• OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate cannot decide key personnel substitutions will yet after an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall; hold is the only Government RFP close an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance can defend.

Analysis required

• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance cannot waive quietly.
• Map Section L/M requirements in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate to evaluator notes after an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate attaches.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate against an OCI letter naming an affiliate you forgot to firewall and write the one fact that would move key personnel substitutions will for contracts officer supporting a bid.
