HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is noise around an already-controlled Performance and Teaming process in a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft, given small-business subcontracting plan short of goals. 2. A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is the event in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals that forces Pursue for past-performance volume owner under Government RFP. 3.

Small-business subcontracting plan short of goals cannot decide the SBIR data-rights assertions yet after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; hold is the only Government RFP close a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if past-performance volume owner pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in small-business subcontracting plan short of goals to evaluator notes after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year. 4. For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read small-business subcontracting plan short of goals against a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year and write the one fact that would move the SBIR data-rights assertions for past-performance volume owner.
