Whether a modification is in-scope or a new procurement from SBIR Phase II

Situation

After an incumbent protest rumor on the street, SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is what price-to-win analyst can touch in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP. Government RFP will live with A modification is in-scope versus A new procurement on this Compliance and Cyber Requirements file.

Decision

Price-to-win analyst in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.

Hypotheses to test

• Authorize A modification is in-scope now; SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix already has the discriminator after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.
• Keep A new procurement in force until SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is completed after an incumbent protest rumor on the street for price-to-win analyst.
• Treat SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix as A modification is in-scope because both readings appear after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.
• Refuse a Government RFP close: price-to-win analyst does not have the page a modification is in-scope turns on in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix.

Analysis required

• Map Section L/M requirements in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix to evaluator notes after an incumbent protest rumor on the street.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a modification is in-scope.
• For this Government RFP Compliance and Cyber Requirements file, read SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix against an incumbent protest rumor on the street and write the one fact that would move a modification is in-scope for price-to-win analyst.

Recommendation

Choose A modification is in-scope / A new procurement on this Government RFP / Compliance and Cyber Requirements packet (SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after an incumbent protest rumor on the street). If SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix cannot force a Government RFP label under Compliance and Cyber Requirements, stop. Do not invent pages an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP does not have.
