Assess whether claimed differentiators would survive a fact check (568177)

Situation

After an incumbent protest rumor on the street, past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is what proposal compliance lead can touch in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP. Government RFP will live with Pursue versus Pursue with conditions on this Capture and Pricing file.

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 past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.

Hypotheses to test

• An incumbent protest rumor on the street is noise around an already-controlled Capture and Pricing process in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, given past-performance recency and relevance scorecard.
• An incumbent protest rumor on the street is the event in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard that forces Pursue for proposal compliance lead under Government RFP.
• Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard shows a one-file miss after an incumbent protest rumor on the street, not a Capture and Pricing program failure.
• Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard cannot decide claimed differentiators would survive yet after an incumbent protest rumor on the street; hold is the only Government RFP close an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP can defend.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what past-performance recency and relevance scorecard attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs claimed differentiators would survive.
• Score competitive posture if proposal compliance lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against an incumbent protest rumor on the street and write the one fact that would move claimed differentiators would survive for proposal compliance lead.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after an incumbent protest rumor on the street). Lead with the Government RFP option past-performance recency and relevance scorecard can support after an incumbent protest rumor on the street, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for proposal compliance lead in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP.
