Assess whether past performance will score or be deemed not relevant (5f535f)
August 31, 2026 · SmartSolo
Situation
An incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance cannot treat a task order that looks written for one vendor as color commentary on contract-mod scope creep log. Contracts officer supporting a bid must close past performance will score from that extract under Government RFP / Capture and Pricing.
Decision
Contracts officer supporting a bid in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant using contract-mod scope creep log after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
Hypotheses to test
- Authorize Past performance will score now; contract-mod scope creep log already has the discriminator after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
- Keep Be deemed not relevant in force until contract-mod scope creep log is completed after a task order that looks written for one vendor for contracts officer supporting a bid.
- Treat contract-mod scope creep log as Past performance will score because both readings appear after a task order that looks written for one vendor.
- Refuse a Government RFP close: contracts officer supporting a bid does not have the page past performance will score turns on in contract-mod scope creep log.
Analysis required
- Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs past performance will score.
- Score competitive posture if contracts officer supporting a bid pursues, partners, or no-bids.
- Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance cannot waive quietly.
- For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read contract-mod scope creep log against a task order that looks written for one vendor and write the one fact that would move past performance will score for contracts officer supporting a bid.
Recommendation
Choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (contract-mod scope creep log after a task order that looks written for one vendor). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what contracts officer supporting a bid does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
