This Government RFP / Compliance and Cyber Requirements close is a modification is in-scope from small-business subcontracting plan short of goals, and the live options are A modification is in-scope, A new procurement.

Decision

CMMC implementation lead in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement using small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• A modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is noise around an already-controlled Compliance and Cyber Requirements process in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance, given small-business subcontracting plan short of goals.
• A modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is the event in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals that forces A modification is in-scope for CMMC implementation lead under Government RFP.
• Small-business subcontracting plan short of goals shows a one-file miss after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS, not a Compliance and Cyber Requirements program failure.
• Small-business subcontracting plan short of goals cannot decide a modification is in-scope yet after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS; hold is the only Government RFP close an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance can defend.

Analysis required

• Map Section L/M requirements in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals to evaluator notes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what small-business subcontracting plan short of goals attaches.
• For this Government RFP Compliance and Cyber Requirements file, read small-business subcontracting plan short of goals against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move a modification is in-scope for CMMC implementation lead.
