Assess whether past performance will score or be deemed not relevant (b1780e)

Situation

Protest and Modifications work in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work now turns on past performance will score because a key person who just resigned put price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate in play. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart should say what price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate proves.

Decision

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant using price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a key person who just resigned.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Past performance will score now; price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate already has the discriminator after a key person who just resigned.
• Keep Be deemed not relevant in force until price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate is completed after a key person who just resigned for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
• Treat price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate as Past performance will score because both readings appear after a key person who just resigned.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does not have the page past performance will score turns on in price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs past performance will score.
• Score competitive posture if protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart 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.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate against a key person who just resigned and write the one fact that would move past performance will score for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

Recommendation

Choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a key person who just resigned). The follow-on Protest and Modifications action is what protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
