Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently (491f3f)

Situation

A lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot treat a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS as color commentary on SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix. CMMC implementation lead must close Section M scoring math from that extract under Government RFP / Capture and Pricing.

Decision

CMMC implementation lead 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 modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix already has the discriminator after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is completed after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS for CMMC implementation lead.
• Treat SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix as Partner because both readings appear after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: CMMC implementation lead does not have the page Section M scoring math turns on in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs Section M scoring math.
• Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for CMMC implementation lead.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS). Lead with the Government RFP option SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix can support after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for CMMC implementation lead in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR.
