Assess whether a protest is rational after debrief (0cb2f6)

Situation

Past-performance recency and relevance scorecard arrived with a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement for CMMC implementation lead. That is a Government RFP Performance and Teaming decision on a protest is rational in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order.

Decision

CMMC implementation lead in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is the one a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement named, so Pursue follows for this Performance and Teaming file.
• The population in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is adjacent only to a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call.
• A mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order already contained a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement before past-performance recency and relevance scorecard arrived; no new Performance and Teaming path.
• Provenance on past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a protest is rational.
• Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order cannot waive quietly.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement and write the one fact that would move a protest is rational for CMMC implementation lead.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement). Lead with the Government RFP option past-performance recency and relevance scorecard can support after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for CMMC implementation lead in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order.
