Assess whether a modification is in-scope or a new procurement (7e134e)

Situation

After a key person who just resigned, key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications is what past-performance volume owner can touch in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance. Government RFP will live with A modification is in-scope versus A new procurement on this Protest and Modifications file.

Decision

Past-performance volume owner in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement using key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications after a key person who just resigned.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize A modification is in-scope now; key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications already has the discriminator after a key person who just resigned.
• Keep A new procurement in force until key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications is completed after a key person who just resigned for past-performance volume owner.
• Treat key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications as A modification is in-scope because both readings appear after a key person who just resigned.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: past-performance volume owner does not have the page a modification is in-scope turns on in key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications.

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 key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications to evaluator notes after a key person who just resigned.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications attaches.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications against a key person who just resigned and write the one fact that would move a modification is in-scope for past-performance volume owner.

Recommendation

Choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications after a key person who just resigned). If key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications cannot force a Government RFP label under Protest and Modifications, stop. If key-personnel resume vs. solicitation qualifications after a key person who just resigned cannot support A modification is in-scope versus A new procurement on this Government RFP Protest and Modifications close, past-performance volume owner must identify the Section L/M or evaluation criterion that remains unproven rather than filling the gap.
