Situation

Evidence is contract-mod scope creep log; write the Government RFP Performance and Teaming option that extract can carry.

Decision

IDIQ task-order strategist in a company facing a CMMC Level 2 assessment before bid must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using contract-mod scope creep log after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS.

Hypotheses to test

• A modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is noise around an already-controlled Performance and Teaming process in a company facing a CMMC Level 2 assessment before bid, given contract-mod scope creep log.
• A modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS is the event in contract-mod scope creep log that forces Pursue for IDIQ task-order strategist under Government RFP.
• Contract-mod scope creep log shows a one-file miss after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS, not a Performance and Teaming program failure.
• Contract-mod scope creep log cannot decide Section M scoring math yet after a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS; hold is the only Government RFP close a company facing a CMMC Level 2 assessment before bid can defend.

Analysis required

• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs Section M scoring math.
• Score competitive posture if IDIQ task-order strategist pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a company facing a CMMC Level 2 assessment before bid cannot waive quietly.
• For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read contract-mod scope creep log against a modification adding cybersecurity work not in the PWS and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for IDIQ task-order strategist.
