Assess whether past performance will score or be deemed not relevant (beb25a)

Situation

A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year put price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate in front of protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work. This Government RFP / Protest and Modifications close is past performance will score from price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate, and the live options are Past performance will score, Be deemed not relevant.

Decision

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Past performance will score / Be deemed not relevant using price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year.

Hypotheses to test

• Price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate reads as Past performance will score once a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is lined up to the same Government RFP population.
• Price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate is closer to Be deemed not relevant after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; Past performance will score would over-claim this Protest and Modifications extract.
• A dual reading is still live in price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work.
• Price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate is missing the fact protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart needs after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; stop this Government RFP close.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs past performance will score.
• Score competitive posture if protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work cannot waive quietly.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read price-to-win versus independent government cost estimate against a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year and write the one fact that would move past performance will score for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.
