Assess whether a modification is in-scope or a new procurement (107e58)

Situation

In a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors is the evidence after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year. Contracts officer supporting a bid has to pick A modification is in-scope or A new procurement for this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close using protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors.

Decision

Contracts officer supporting a bid in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement using protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year.

Hypotheses to test

• A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is noise around an already-controlled Performance and Teaming process in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, given protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors.
• A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is the event in protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors that forces A modification is in-scope for contracts officer supporting a bid under Government RFP.
• Protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors shows a one-file miss after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year, not a Performance and Teaming program failure.
• Protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors cannot decide a modification is in-scope yet after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; hold is the only Government RFP close a lab competing a Phase II SBIR can defend.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a modification is in-scope.
• Score competitive posture if contracts officer supporting a bid pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors against a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year and write the one fact that would move a modification is in-scope for contracts officer supporting a bid.

Recommendation

Choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year). The follow-on Performance and Teaming action is what contracts officer supporting a bid does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
