Assess whether Section M scoring math was applied consistently (afd615)

Situation

Section M scoring math sits with CMMC implementation lead because a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year hit a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft. Evidence is SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix; write the Government RFP Protest and Modifications option that extract can carry.

Decision

CMMC implementation lead in a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft must choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid using SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year.

Hypotheses to test

• SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix reads as Pursue once a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is lined up to the same Government RFP population.
• SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is closer to Pursue with conditions after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; Pursue would over-claim this Protest and Modifications extract.
• Partner is still live in SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix for CMMC implementation lead in a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft.
• SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix is missing the fact CMMC implementation lead needs after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; stop this Government RFP close.

Analysis required

• Compare teaming and past-performance claims to what SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix attaches.
• Normalize pricing and exceptions against the solicitation that governs Section M scoring math.
• Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids.
• For this Government RFP Protest and Modifications file, read SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix against a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year and write the one fact that would move Section M scoring math for CMMC implementation lead.

Recommendation

Choose Pursue / Pursue with conditions / Partner / No-bid on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year). Lead with the Government RFP option SBIR Phase II commercialization appendix can support after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for CMMC implementation lead in a joint venture with an uneven workshare draft.
