Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently (9f6794)

Situation

In an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is the evidence after a task order that looks written for one vendor. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart has to pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions for this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close using shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps.

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 shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a task order that looks written for one vendor.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize Pursue now; shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps already has the discriminator after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
• Keep Pursue with conditions in force until shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps is completed after a task order that looks written for one vendor for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
• Treat shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps as Partner because both readings appear after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart does not have the page Section M scoring math turns on in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps.

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 shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps to evaluator notes after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps attaches.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps against a task order that looks written for one vendor and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a task order that looks written for one vendor). 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.
