Situation
In a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order, protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors is the evidence after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS. Past-performance volume owner has to pick A modification is in-scope or A new procurement for this Government RFP Capture and Pricing close using protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors.
Decision
Past-performance volume owner in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order must choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement using protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
Hypotheses to test
- Authorize A modification is in-scope now; protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors already has the discriminator after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
- Keep A new procurement in force until protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors is completed after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS for past-performance volume owner.
- Treat protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors as A modification is in-scope because both readings appear after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
- Refuse a Government RFP close: past-performance volume owner does not have the page a modification is in-scope turns on in protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors.
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 past-performance volume owner pursues, partners, or no-bids.
- For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS 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 / Capture and Pricing packet (protest-exposure memo on evaluation factors after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what past-performance volume owner does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
