Assess whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive

SITUATION In a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, a key person who just resigned put SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix in play. Past-performance volume owner should decide whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive without filling gaps SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix does not contain.

DECISION Past-performance volume owner in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a key person who just resigned.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is the one a key person who just resigned named, so Pursue follows for this Compliance and Cyber Requirements file. 2. The population in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is adjacent only to a key person who just resigned; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call. 3. A lab competing a Phase II SBIR already contained a key person who just resigned before SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix arrived; no new Compliance and Cyber Requirements path. 4. Provenance on SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a key person who just resigned is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot waive quietly. 2. Map Section L/M requirements in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix to evaluator notes after a key person who just resigned. 3. Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix attaches. 4. For this Government RFP Compliance and Cyber Requirements file, read SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix against a key person who just resigned and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for past-performance volume owner.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Compliance and Cyber Requirements packet (SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a key person who just resigned). The follow-on Compliance and Cyber Requirements action is what past-performance volume owner does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Government RFP option on the SBIR data-rights assertions, then the evidence in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix, then the action for past-performance volume owner - Hypothesis scorecard against SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes the SBIR data-rights assertions if a key person who just resigned is later withdrawn - Named option among Pursue, Pursue with conditions, Partner and the fact that kills the others
