Assess whether to price to win or walk from a buy-in (f9ae13)

SITUATION A CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling put past-performance recency and relevance scorecard in front of proposal compliance lead in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work. This Government RFP / Performance and Teaming close is to price to win or walk from past-performance recency and relevance scorecard, and the live options are To price to win, Walk from a buy-in.

DECISION Proposal compliance lead in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is the one a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling named, so To price to win follows for this Performance and Teaming file. 2. The population in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is adjacent only to a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling; Walk from a buy-in is the honest Government RFP call. 3. A contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work already contained a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling before past-performance recency and relevance scorecard arrived; no new Performance and Teaming path. 4. Provenance on past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling is broken; do not pick To price to win or Walk from a buy-in yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if proposal compliance lead pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard to evaluator notes after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling. 4. For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling 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 / Performance and Teaming packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling). The follow-on Performance and Teaming action is what proposal compliance lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
