Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently (cd7f32)

Situation

Proposal compliance lead owns Section M scoring math inside a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work with shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps as the only packet. A modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is what changed the clock for this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file.

Decision

Proposal compliance lead in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps already has the discriminator after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is completed after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS for proposal compliance lead.
• Treat shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps as Partner because both readings appear after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: proposal compliance lead does not have the page Section M scoring math turns on in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps.

Analysis required

• Score competitive posture if proposal compliance lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work cannot waive quietly.
• Map Section L/M requirements in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps to evaluator notes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for proposal compliance lead.
