Assess whether a protest is rational after debrief (05878f)

Situation

Teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes arrived with a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart. That is a Government RFP Performance and Teaming decision on a protest is rational in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP.

Decision

Protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.

Hypotheses to test

• A subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is noise around an already-controlled Performance and Teaming process in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, given teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes.
• A subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit is the event in teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes that forces Pursue for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart under Government RFP.
• Teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes shows a one-file miss after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit, not a Performance and Teaming program failure.
• Teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes cannot decide a protest is rational yet after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit; hold is the only Government RFP close an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP can defend.

Analysis required

• Map Section L/M requirements in teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes to evaluator notes after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit.
• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs a protest is rational.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes against a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit and write the one fact that would move a protest is rational for protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit). If teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes cannot force a Government RFP label under Performance and Teaming, stop. If teaming agreement with IP and workshare holes after a subcontracting goal the supply base cannot hit cannot support Pursue versus Pursue with conditions on this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close, protest-risk counsel's technical counterpart must identify the Section L/M or evaluation criterion that remains unproven rather than filling the gap.
