Assess whether to price to win or walk from a buy-in (0c204a)

SITUATION In a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order, past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is the evidence after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement. CMMC implementation lead has to pick To price to win or Walk from a buy-in for this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard.

DECISION CMMC implementation lead in a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order must choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in using past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize To price to win now; past-performance recency and relevance scorecard already has the discriminator after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement. 2. Keep Walk from a buy-in in force until past-performance recency and relevance scorecard is completed after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement for CMMC implementation lead. 3. Treat past-performance recency and relevance scorecard as To price to win because both readings appear after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement. 4. Refuse a Government RFP close: CMMC implementation lead does not have the decision to price to win or walk turns on in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if CMMC implementation lead pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a mid-tier integrator bidding a DoD IDIQ task order cannot waive quietly. 3. Map Section L/M requirements in past-performance recency and relevance scorecard to evaluator notes after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement. 4. For this Government RFP Performance and Teaming file, read past-performance recency and relevance scorecard against a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement and write the one fact that would move to price to win or walk for CMMC implementation lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in on this Government RFP / Performance and Teaming packet (past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement). If past-performance recency and relevance scorecard cannot force a Government RFP label under Performance and Teaming, stop. If past-performance recency and relevance scorecard after a teammate that cannot meet the facility-clearance requirement cannot support To price to win versus Walk from a buy-in on this Government RFP Performance and Teaming close, CMMC implementation lead must identify the Section L/M or evaluation criterion that remains unproven rather than filling the gap.
