Situation
Section M scoring math sits with price-to-win analyst because a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment hit a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work. Evidence is OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate; write the Government RFP Capture and Pricing option that extract can carry.
Decision
