Assess whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive (65cf4f)

SITUATION In an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment put price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate in play. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart should decide whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive without filling gaps price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate does not contain.

DECISION Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose Pursue, Pursue with conditions, Partner, No-bid using price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment. The question on that file is whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart can defend Pursue from price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment in a Government RFP challenge. 2. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart cannot defend Pursue from price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate; Pursue with conditions is what the extract actually supports after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment. 3. A 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment never reached the population in price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate — reopen intake, do not close the SBIR data-rights assertions. 4. Two facts in price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment conflict for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart; hold this Performance and Teaming file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the SBIR data-rights assertions. 2. Score competitive posture if protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart pursues, partners, or no-bids. 3. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP cannot waive quietly. 4. For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate against a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a 14-day proposal clock after a late amendment). 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.
