Problem
ABC, Inc. receives a contract to define the detailed performance characteristics for Navy base housing maintenance services. ABC has not actually performed the services. When the contract was awarded, it was clear to both parties that the Navy would use the performance characteristics defined by ABC under their contract to select the contractor for the actual housing maintenance services contract. You have been appointed as the COR for the housing maintenance services contract. Upon the receipt of proposals you become aware that ABC, Inc. has submitted a proposal. What action must you take?
