SITUATION After a task order that looks written for one vendor, contract-mod scope creep log is what proposal compliance lead can touch in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP. Government RFP will live with To price to win versus Walk from a buy-in on this Capture and Pricing file.
DECISION Proposal compliance lead in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in using contract-mod scope creep log after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A task order that looks written for one vendor is noise around an already-controlled Capture and Pricing process in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, given contract-mod scope creep log. 2. A task order that looks written for one vendor is the event in contract-mod scope creep log that forces To price to win for proposal compliance lead under Government RFP. 3. Contract-mod scope creep log shows a one-file miss after a task order that looks written for one vendor, not a Capture and Pricing program failure. 4. Contract-mod scope creep log cannot decide to price to win or walk yet after a task order that looks written for one vendor; hold is the only Government RFP close an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP can defend.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Map Section L/M requirements in contract-mod scope creep log to evaluator notes after a task order that looks written for one vendor. 2. Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what contract-mod scope creep log attaches. 3. Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs to price to win or walk. 4. For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read contract-mod scope creep log against a task order that looks written for one vendor and write the one fact that would move to price to win or walk for proposal compliance lead.
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 task order that looks written for one vendor). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what proposal compliance lead 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 proposal compliance lead - Hypothesis scorecard against contract-mod scope creep log: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes to price to win or walk if a task order that looks written for one vendor is later withdrawn - Named option among To price to win, Walk from a buy-in and the fact that kills the others
