Situation

The Protest and Modifications desk packet is teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must name Pursue or Pursue with conditions for this Government RFP file. Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work has to name Pursue or Pursue with conditions for this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file.

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 teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes is the one a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS named, so Pursue follows for this Protest and Modifications file.
• The population in teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes is adjacent only to a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call.
• A contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work already contained a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS before teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes arrived; no new Protest and Modifications path.
• Provenance on teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

Analysis required

• 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.
• Map Section L/M requirements in teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes to evaluator notes after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
