Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently from SBIR

Situation

Section M scoring math sits with IDIQ task-order strategist because a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling hit a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work. Evidence is SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix; write the Government RFP Compliance and Cyber Requirements option that extract can carry.

Decision

IDIQ task-order strategist in a contractor evaluating a modification that looks like out-of-scope work must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.

Hypotheses to test

• IDIQ task-order strategist can defend Pursue from SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling in a Government RFP challenge.
• IDIQ task-order strategist cannot defend Pursue from SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix; Pursue with conditions is what the extract actually supports after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling.
• A CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling never reached the population in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix — reopen intake, do not close Section M scoring math.
• Two facts in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a CMMC assessor finding on CUI handling conflict for IDIQ task-order strategist; hold this Compliance and Cyber Requirements file.
