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

SITUATION A lab competing a Phase II SBIR cannot treat a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit as incidental context on shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps. Contracts officer supporting a bid must close the bid is compliant from that extract under Government RFP / Performance and Teaming.

DECISION Contracts officer supporting a bid in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Contracts officer supporting a bid can defend Pursue from shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit in a Government RFP challenge. 2.

A subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit never reached the population in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps — reopen intake, do not close the bid is compliant. 4. Two facts in shall-statement compliance matrix with gaps after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit conflict for contracts officer supporting a bid; hold this Performance and Teaming file.
