Assess whether to price to win or walk from a buy-in (160ee0)

SITUATION Contracts officer supporting a bid in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance has one working extract — contract-mod scope creep log — after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit. If contract-mod scope creep log cannot support to price to win or walk, the only defensible Government RFP output is hold.

DECISION Contracts officer supporting a bid in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in using contract-mod scope creep log after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in contract-mod scope creep log is the one a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit named, so To price to win follows for this Capture and Pricing file. 2. The population in contract-mod scope creep log is adjacent only to a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit; Walk from a buy-in is the honest Government RFP call. 3. An incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance already contained a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit before contract-mod scope creep log arrived; no new Capture and Pricing path. 4. Provenance on contract-mod scope creep log after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is broken; do not pick To price to win or Walk from a buy-in yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if contracts officer supporting a bid pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in contract-mod scope creep log to evaluator notes after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit. 4. For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read contract-mod scope creep log against a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit and write the one fact that would move to price to win or walk for contracts officer supporting a bid.

RECOMMENDATION Choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (contract-mod scope creep log after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what contracts officer supporting a bid does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Government RFP option on to price to win or walk, then the evidence in contract-mod scope creep log, then the action for contracts officer supporting a bid - Hypothesis scorecard against contract-mod scope creep log: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for contracts officer supporting a bid in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance - What changes to price to win or walk if a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is later withdrawn
