Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently (c0db61)

Situation

A lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot treat an incumbent protest rumor on the street as color commentary on OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate. Capture manager must close Section M scoring math from that extract under Government RFP / Protest and Modifications.

Decision

Capture manager in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate is the one an incumbent protest rumor on the street named, so Pursue follows for this Protest and Modifications file.
• The population in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate is adjacent only to an incumbent protest rumor on the street; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call.
• A lab competing a Phase II SBIR already contained an incumbent protest rumor on the street before OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate arrived; no new Protest and Modifications path.
• Provenance on OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after an incumbent protest rumor on the street is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

Analysis required

• Map Section L/M requirements in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate to evaluator notes after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs Section M scoring math.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate against an incumbent protest rumor on the street and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for capture manager.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after an incumbent protest rumor on the street). The follow-on Protest and Modifications action is what capture manager does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
