Assess whether the SBIR data-rights assertions are too aggressive (f3c5ec)

SITUATION Proposal compliance lead is responsible for the SBIR data-rights assertions in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP, using small-business subcontracting plan short of goals as the only working extract. A key person who just resigned is what reset the timeline for this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file.

DECISION Proposal compliance lead in an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a key person who just resigned.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals is the one a key person who just resigned named, so Pursue follows for this Capture and Pricing file. 2. The population in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals is adjacent only to a key person who just resigned; Pursue with conditions is the honest Government RFP call. 3. An 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP already contained a key person who just resigned before small-business subcontracting plan short of goals arrived; no new Capture and Pricing path. 4. Provenance on small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a key person who just resigned is broken; do not pick Pursue or Pursue with conditions yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs the SBIR data-rights assertions. 2. Score competitive posture if proposal compliance lead pursues, partners, or no-bids. 3. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights an 8(a) teaming on a civilian shared-services RFP cannot waive quietly. 4. For this Government RFP Capture and Pricing file, read small-business subcontracting plan short of goals against a key person who just resigned and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for proposal compliance lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Capture and Pricing packet (small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a key person who just resigned). The follow-on Capture and Pricing action is what proposal compliance lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
