Whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive from discriminator
August 31, 2026 · SmartSolo
Situation
CMMC implementation lead in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance has one working extract — discriminator table that still reads generic — after a key person who just resigned. If discriminator table that still reads generic cannot support the SBIR data-rights assertions, the honest Government RFP output is hold.
Decision
CMMC implementation lead in an incumbent defending a recompete with thin past performance must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using discriminator table that still reads generic after a key person who just resigned.
Hypotheses to test
- CMMC implementation lead can defend Pursue from discriminator table that still reads generic after a key person who just resigned in a Government RFP challenge.
- CMMC implementation lead cannot defend Pursue from discriminator table that still reads generic; Pursue with conditions is what the extract actually supports after a key person who just resigned.
- A key person who just resigned never reached the population in discriminator table that still reads generic — reopen intake, do not close the SBIR data-rights assertions.
- Two facts in discriminator table that still reads generic after a key person who just resigned conflict for CMMC implementation lead; hold this Compliance and Cyber Requirements file.
Analysis required
- Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what discriminator table that still reads generic attaches.
- Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the SBIR data-rights assertions.
- Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
- For this Government RFP Compliance and Cyber Requirements file, read discriminator table that still reads generic against a key person who just resigned and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for CMMC implementation lead.

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Compliance and Cyber Requirements packet (discriminator table that still reads generic after a key person who just resigned). The follow-on Compliance and Cyber Requirements action is what CMMC implementation lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
