Situation
Past performance will score sits with contracts officer supporting a bid because a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS hit a lab competing a Phase II SBIR. Evidence is contract-mod scope creep log; write the Government RFP Performance and Teaming option that extract can carry.
Decision
Contracts officer supporting a bid in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant using contract-mod scope creep log after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
Hypotheses to test
- Contract-mod scope creep log reads as Past performance will score once a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is lined up to the same Government RFP population.
- Contract-mod scope creep log is closer to Be deemed not relevant after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS; Past performance will score would over-claim this Performance and Teaming extract.
- A dual reading is still live in contract-mod scope creep log for contracts officer supporting a bid in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR.
- Contract-mod scope creep log is missing the fact contracts officer supporting a bid needs after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS; stop this Government RFP close.
Analysis required
- Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs past performance will score.
- Score competitive posture if contracts officer supporting a bid pursues, partners, or no-bids.
- Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot waive quietly.
- For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read contract-mod scope creep log against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move past performance will score for contracts officer supporting a bid.
Recommendation
Choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (contract-mod scope creep log after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS). If contract-mod scope creep log cannot force a Government RFP label under Performance and Teaming, stop. If contract-mod scope creep log after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS cannot support Past performance will score versus Be deemed not relevant on this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close, contracts officer supporting a bid must identify the Section L/M or evaluation criterion that remains unproven rather than filling the gap.
