Assess whether the bid is compliant enough to survive a responsiveness check

SITUATION In an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is the evidence after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit. Proposal compliance lead has to pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions for this Government RFP Capture and Pricing close using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix.

DECISION Proposal compliance lead in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Pursue now; SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix already has the discriminator after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit. 2. Keep Pursue with conditions in force until SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is completed after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit for proposal compliance lead. 3. Treat SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix as Partner because both readings appear after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit. 4. Refuse a Government RFP close: proposal compliance lead does not have the decision the bid is compliant turns on in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix attaches. 2. Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the bid is compliant. 3. Score competitive posture if proposal compliance lead pursues, partners, or no-bids. 4. For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix against a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit and write the one fact that would move the bid is compliant for proposal compliance lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what proposal compliance lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Government RFP option on the bid is compliant, then the evidence in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix, then the action for proposal compliance lead - Hypothesis scorecard against SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for proposal compliance lead in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP - What changes the bid is compliant if a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is later withdrawn
