Assess whether a protest is rational after debrief (5e283f)

Situation

After a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment, past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is what price-to-win analyst can touch in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work. Government RFP will live with Pursue versus Pursue with conditions on this Capture and Pricing file.

Decision

Price-to-win analyst in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; past-performance recency and relevance scorecard already has the discriminator after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is completed after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment for price-to-win analyst.
• Treat past-performance recency and relevance scorecard as Partner because both readings appear after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: price-to-win analyst does not have the page a protest is rational turns on in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard.

Analysis required

• Score competitive posture if price-to-win analyst 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.
• Map Section L/M requirements in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard to evaluator notes after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment and write the one fact that would move a protest is rational for price-to-win analyst.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what price-to-win analyst does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
