Capture Assessment

Inis Cloud Inc

ONR Research Protections Division (343) and the Department of the Navy (DON) Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Research Protections Information Technology Management System (RPITMS) Support Services

Decision

Pursue a teaming strategy leveraging your 8(a) STARS III vehicle to lead a bid with a strong Navy IT partner.

While a standalone prime bid is not viable due to a lack of Navy past performance and Microsoft Power Platform credentials, your 8(a) STARS III vehicle offers a compelling procurement path for the customer. Forming a team with an established Navy IT contractor allows you to lead the bid while relying on their technical execution and domain expertise.

Why this call lands here

Lack of Navy Past Performance

No significant past performance with the Department of the Navy.

Early Stage Opportunity

The current RFI stage allows time to pivot to a teaming strategy rather than abandoning the opportunity entirely.

8(a) STARS III Vehicle

Could be leveraged to shape the acquisition if a highly qualified technical partner is secured.

Technology Stack Gap

The requirement is highly specific to the Navy Flank Speed (NFS) environment and Microsoft Power Platform.

Path nuance

Non-prime path

You can lead a team by providing the 8(a) STARS III vehicle advantage and general cybersecurity support, while a specialized partner handles the core Navy IT requirements.

What would make it actionable

To make this teaming strategy actionable, you must secure a partner with proven Navy Flank Speed past performance and personnel holding active PL-400 or PL-600 certifications.

Recommended capture actions

  1. Draft and submit a tailored RFI response
  2. Conduct immediate market research
