HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year is noise around an already-controlled Protest and Modifications process in a lab competing a Phase II SBIR, 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 To price to win for capture manager under Government RFP. 3. Small-business subcontracting plan short of goals shows a one-file miss after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year, not a Protest and Modifications program failure. 4. Small-business subcontracting plan short of goals cannot decide to price to win or walk yet after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year; hold is the only Government RFP close a lab competing a Phase II SBIR can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Score competitive posture if capture manager pursues, partners, or no-bids. 2. Test OCI, QASP, and mandatory evaluation rights a lab competing a Phase II SBIR 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 Protest and Modifications 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 to price to win or walk for capture manager.

RECOMMENDATION Choose To price to win / Walk from a buy-in on this Government RFP / Protest and Modifications packet (small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year). If small-business subcontracting plan short of goals cannot force a Government RFP label under Protest and Modifications, stop. If small-business subcontracting plan short of goals after a data-rights assertion the customer already rejected last year cannot support To price to win versus Walk from a buy-in on this Government RFP Protest and Modifications close, capture manager must identify the Section L/M or evaluation criterion that remains unproven rather than filling the gap.
