Assess whether the bid is compliant enough to survive a responsiveness check

SITUATION Performance and Teaming work in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP now turns on the bid is compliant because a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement put past-performance recency and relevance scorecard in play. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart should say what past-performance recency and relevance scorecard proves.

DECISION Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard reads as Pursue once a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement is lined up to the same Government RFP population. 2. Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is closer to Pursue with conditions after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement; Pursue would over-claim this Performance and Teaming extract. 3. Partner is still live in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP. 4. Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is missing the fact protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart needs after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement; stop this Government RFP close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard to evaluator notes after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement. 4. For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement and write the one fact that would move the bid is compliant for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement). Lead with the Government RFP option past-performance recency and relevance scorecard can support after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP.
