Assess whether a protest is rational after debrief (99bd0b)

Situation

After a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit, shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is what capture manager can touch in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR. Government RFP will live with Pursue versus Pursue with conditions on this Protest and Modifications file.

Decision

Capture manager in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is the one a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit named, so Pursue follows for this Protest and Modifications file.
• The population in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is adjacent only to a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call.
• A lab competing a Phase II SBIR already contained a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit before shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps arrived; no new Protest and Modifications path.
• Provenance on shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a protest is rational.
• Score competitive posture if capture manager 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 Protest and Modifications file, read shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps against a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit and write the one fact that would move a protest is rational for capture manager.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit). The follow-on Protest and Modifications action is what capture manager does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
