Federal Capture Researcher – LogiCore Corporation
Damiun Cox, an African-American who was terminated from LogiCore Corporation, claims that the company discriminated against him for his race. LogiCore responded with a motion for summary judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56, arguing that this claim is barred by genuine issues of material fact. In addition, Cox asserted a retaliation claim, but later abandoned it. Consequently, the Court dismisses this claim.

Teaming arrangements
A teaming arrangement is a type of contract where two or more companies work together to fulfill a common purpose. For example, two companies may work together to fulfill the needs of a client, while another company may perform the same function in a different area. While these two types of contracts may be similar, they differ in many ways. For example, teaming arrangements are not mention in the 13 CFR, while joint ventures are subject to the Small Business Regulations. Consequently, teaming arrangements must be carefully plan and formulated to avoid pitfalls and disputes.
It is essential to ensure that the teaming agreement is enforceable and has a reasonable termination period. Termination of the teaming agreement will allow the prime contractor to continue performing the project independently or with others. A teaming agreement may also contain enforceable clauses, such as confidentiality clauses and proprietary protection clauses. Nondisclosure clauses are essential to protecting the confidentiality of any information that is share between the partners. These clauses must be enforceable and represent concrete commitments made in the present.
Price realism analysis
In fixed-price contracting, price realism analysis is a method of assessing the risk inherent in an offeror’s proposal. The key to price realism analysis is whether the RFP was based on a fixed price, and whether the agency provided reasonable notice of the risk of the offeror’s proposal. A government agency can perform price realism analysis to help determine the cost-effectiveness of a bid.
Before performing a price realism analysis, offerors must first examine the RFP to determine whether it outlines the methods used to conduct the analysis. The agency may choose to use a discretionary method, but the method must be adequate for the task and provide a reasonable degree of confidence in the conclusion that the rates are reasonable. It should also take into account other relevant cost information. In order to demonstrate adequate performance of the task, offerors must be able to demonstrate that they have sufficient expertise in price realism analysis.
Final Words
The Government Accountability Office recently ruled on a bid protest case, reminding agencies that price realism analysis is require for some solicitations. While it is not require by law, it is essential to understand when it is appropriate to conduct price realism analysis. It is important to note that the Government Accountability Office released the unprotected version of the decision in Matter of Earth Resources Technology Inc. to demonstrate the importance of realism analysis in government procurement.
