Situation

Evidence is RFP Section L/M that omits a mandatory clause; write the US Federal Financial Crime and Sanctions option that extract can carry.
Decision
Contracting officer's technical representative in an IG shop scoping a whistleblower allegation must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using RFP Section L/M that omits a mandatory clause after a provider with a sudden modifier-25 spike.
Hypotheses to test

- Keep Pursue with conditions in force until RFP Section L/M that omits a mandatory clause is completed after a provider with a sudden modifier-25 spike for contracting officer's technical representative.
- Treat RFP Section L/M that omits a mandatory clause as Partner because both readings appear after a provider with a sudden modifier-25 spike.
- Refuse a US Federal close: contracting officer's technical representative does not have the page the AI buy is turns on in RFP Section L/M that omits a mandatory clause.
