Assess whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive (1a1e1a)

Situation

Protest and Modifications work in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work now turns on the SBIR data-rights assertions because a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores put shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps in play. Protest and Modifications work in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work now turns on the SBIR data-rights assertions because a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores put shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps in play; protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart should say what shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps proves for Government RFP.

Decision

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps already has the discriminator after a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is completed after a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
• Treat shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps as Partner because both readings appear after a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does not have the page the SBIR data-rights assertions turns on in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the SBIR data-rights assertions.
• Score competitive posture if protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work cannot waive quietly.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps against a debrief that contradicts the evaluation-notice scores and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
