Assess whether CMMC gaps are bid-killers or post-award plans (7d8967)

Situation

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP has one working extract — OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate — after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS. If OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate cannot support CMMC gaps are bid-killers, the honest Government RFP output is hold.

Decision

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose CMMC gaps are bid-killers / Post-award plans using OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize CMMC gaps are bid-killers now; OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate already has the discriminator after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Keep Post-award plans in force until OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate is completed after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
• Treat OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate as CMMC gaps are bid-killers because both readings appear after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does not have the page CMMC gaps are bid-killers turns on in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate.

Analysis required

• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP cannot waive quietly.
• Map Section L/M requirements in OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate to evaluator notes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate attaches.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move CMMC gaps are bid-killers for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

Recommendation

Choose CMMC gaps are bid-killers / Post-award plans on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (OCI mitigation plan that names the wrong affiliate after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS). The follow-on Performance and Teaming action is what protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
