Assess whether a protest is rational after debrief (e44ec3)

Situation

In a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order, discriminator table that still reads generic is the evidence after a task order that looks written for one vendor. Past-performance volume owner has to pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions for this Government RFP Capture and Pricing close using discriminator table that still reads generic.

Decision

Past-performance volume owner in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using discriminator table that still reads generic after a task order that looks written for one vendor.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in discriminator table that still reads generic is the one a task order that looks written for one vendor named, so Pursue follows for this Capture and Pricing file.
• The population in discriminator table that still reads generic is adjacent only to a task order that looks written for one vendor; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call.
• A mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order already contained a task order that looks written for one vendor before discriminator table that still reads generic arrived; no new Capture and Pricing path.
• Provenance on discriminator table that still reads generic after a task order that looks written for one vendor is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what discriminator table that still reads generic attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a protest is rational.
• Score competitive posture if past-performance volume owner pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read discriminator table that still reads generic against a task order that looks written for one vendor and write the one fact that would move a protest is rational for past-performance volume owner.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (discriminator table that still reads generic after a task order that looks written for one vendor). Lead with the Government RFP option discriminator table that still reads generic can support after a task order that looks written for one vendor, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for past-performance volume owner in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order.
