The report by the Office of the Procurement Ombud also stated:
The assessment worksheets for resources added through [task authorizations] under a contract awarded to GC Strategies...stood out from the others. For this contract valued at $25.3 million there were 42 [task authorizations].
OPO found assessment worksheets for resources on 16 of the 42 [task authorizations] issued under this contract did not demonstrate the proposed resource met mandatory criteria or support points awarded for point-rated criteria. There were numerous examples where the supplier had simply copied and pasted requirements from mandatory and point-rated criteria as project experience of the resource.
Is it standard practice for suppliers to copy and paste requirements for mandatory and point-rated criteria as project experience on the proposed resources?
