- Acquisition background and objectives
- Statement of need
- Applicable conditions (e.g., urgency, consolidation, bundling)
- Cost and estimated contract value
- Capability or performance requirements
- Delivery or performance-period requirements
- Trade-offs
- Risks
- Acquisition streamlining
- Sources
- Competition
- Contract type selection and rationale

Analyze the current acquisition approach for [project name] and identify any elements that resemble legacy clearance procedures. Suggest alternative actions that align with CASPER's principles of proactive risk management and streamlined documentation.

"Based on the information in [document name, e.g., Acquisition Plan], are we effectively leveraging existing documentation to support the CASPER review? Identify any redundant paperwork that can be eliminated."

"Review the current strategy for [project name]. How can we better empower the Contracting Officer and local leadership in the decision-making process, in line with the CASPER guidance?"

CASPER PROGRAM

CASPER - CRA Prompts

Identify top strategic risks for a CASPER Risk Advisor to focus on during an Acquisition Strategy Review, with rationale for each.

I am the CASPER Risk Advisor for the [project name] acquisition. The CO has provided the following documents [list of documents]. Based on these, what are the top three strategic risks I should focus on during the Acquisition Strategy Review? Provide a rationale for each.

"Review the proposed contract type for [project name]. Does the justification for using a non-fixed-price contract seem sufficient? How does the chosen contract type incentivize the contractor to meet our goals and share risk appropriately?"

"Based on the draft acquisition strategy, where is the acquisition team exercising innovative business judgment or tailoring regulations? Is the rationale for these decisions defensible and the associated risks acceptable?"

CONTRACT REVIEW

4022 OTA Contract File Review

Review an OTA (10 U.S.C. 4022) Prototype Agreement package - Agreement, Written Determination, General Terms & Conditions, and applicable templates - and generate a structured review report with an executive summary, completeness checklist, compliance findings, detailed issue table, recommendations, conclusion, and reviewer signature block.

You are an expert Department of War (DoW) Contracting Officer with 20 years of experience and exceptional attention to detail. Your mission is to conduct a comprehensive review of the attached Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) package contracting documents consisting of the following <INSERT PROTOTYPE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, <INSERT WRITTEN DETERMINATION DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, and <INSERT TERMS & CONDITIONS DOCUMENT NAME HERE> for compliance with specific statutory and best-practice requirements outlined in the DoD OT Guidebook, as well as template requirements, grammatical errors, and misspellings.

Use the list of questions below to analyze the uploaded <INSERT PROTOTYPE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, <INSERT WRITTEN DETERMINATION DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, and <INSERT TERMS & CONDITIONS DOCUMENT NAME HERE> and provide a comprehensive review of the document as outlined in the Output Format.

PART I: COMPLETENESS CHECK
Compare the attached <INSERT PA TEMPLATE DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, <INSERT WD TEMPLATE DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, and <INSERT T&C TEMPLATE DOCUMENT NAME HERE> with <INSERT PROTOTYPE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, <INSERT WRITTEN DETERMINATION DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, and <INSERT TERMS & CONDITIONS DOCUMENT NAME HERE> to ensure the document to analyze includes all of the required sections and clauses as outlined in the template. For each item, note its presence or absence.

PART II: COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST & GUIDEBOOK REQUIREMENTS
For each compliance point listed below, you must:
- Analyze the corresponding section of the provided agreement <INSERT PROTOTYPE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, <INSERT WRITTEN DETERMINATION DOCUMENT NAME HERE>, and <INSERT TERMS & CONDITIONS DOCUMENT NAME HERE>
- Verify if the document package's language meets the requirement.
- State "COMPLIANT," "NON-COMPLIANT," or "UNCLEAR" for each item.
- Explain your reasoning, citing specific language from the document or noting its absence.
- Provide concrete, actionable recommendations to fix any non-compliant or unclear sections.

1) Statutory Authority & Conditions
- OT Guidebook Requirement: A Prototype OT under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 must satisfy at least one of four conditions (significant non-traditional defense contractor (NTDC) participation, all small business participants, 1/3 cost-share, or exceptional circumstances determination). The agreement or its supporting file should document this.
- Compliance Check:
a) Authority: Does the AUTHORITY section correctly cite 10 U.S.C. § 4022?
b) Condition: Does the agreement clearly document which of the four statutory conditions are met?
c) NTDC/Small Business Participation: If the condition is significant participation by an NTDC or small business, does the agreement require the Prime Contractor to ensure, track, and report on the level of participation throughout the period of performance? Is "Non-Traditional Defense Contractor" defined with a proper statutory reference (e.g., 10 U.S.C. § 3014)?

2) Success Criteria & Follow-On Production
- OT Guidebook Requirement: The agreement must define how the prototype will be evaluated for success and give notice of a potential follow-on production award. Success can be defined by "key technical goals," "success metrics," or "a particularly favorable or unexpected result."
- Compliance Check:
a) Follow-On Notice: Does Section VII. FOLLOW-ON PRODUCTION (or similar) provide adequate notice of a potential non-competitive follow-on?
b) Success Definition: Review the "Success Criteria" or "Project Objectives." Is success defined with specific, measurable, and outcome-oriented metrics (e.g., "Time from initial idea to demonstrable prototype," "Number of prototypes deployed," "User adoption rates")? Vague statements like "completion of objectives" are insufficient.

3) Key Terms, Conditions, and Clauses
- OT Guidebook Requirement: The agreement must address key operational terms, as the FAR does not apply.
- Compliance Check:
a) Funding & Obligations: Does Section IV. FUNDING (or similar) adequately address limits on Government obligations? Is it clear that the Agreement Holder cannot initiate work until funding is obligated?
b) Modifications & Disputes: Are there dedicated clauses addressing how modifications and disputes will be handled, as recommended by the OT Guidebook?
c) Termination: Does the agreement define the conditions for termination for both parties? Does it specify how costs will be handled for milestones in progress if the project is terminated, such as payment for "reasonable costs" for work performed? Does it reserve the Government's right to terminate for insufficient funding?
d) Intellectual Property (IP): Review the IP and Licensing terms. Do they clearly define different categories of deliverables (e.g., work on contractor's proprietary platform vs. other custom development)? Is a specific, perpetual license (e.g., Government Purpose Rights) granted to the Government for all deliverables where appropriate? Critically, does the agreement make any deliverables contingent on a future, not-yet-negotiated license agreement (e.g., a separate EULA)? Flag this as a high risk.
e) Risk Mitigation & Performance Management: Does the agreement include a mandatory trial period for development teams? Does it give the Government the clear, unilateral right to "off-ramp" or terminate underperforming teams based on a performance review? Is this off-ramp tied to a specific milestone or gate?
f) Payment & Acceptance: Are payments structured around fixed-price, outcome-based milestones? Does the agreement state that payment is tied to the Government's formal acceptance of tangible, working deliverables, not just effort or hours? Does it define a clear process for rejecting a deliverable, including a timeframe for providing detailed feedback (e.g., "within 7 calendar days")?
g) Government Property: If Government property is furnished or acquired, does the agreement include the required clauses?

4) General Structure and Enforceability
- OT Guidebook Requirement: The agreement must be a legally binding document with clear terms.
- Compliance Check:
a) Referenced Documents: If the agreement references external documents like "General Terms and Conditions," are these documents attached? Should essential clauses (Disputes, Modifications, IP) be in the main body to avoid ambiguity?
b) Signatures: Does the agreement include a signature block for authorized representatives of both parties?
c) Clarity and Justification: Does the BACKGROUND section provide supporting policy, memoranda, or regulations to justify the effort and put the contractor on notice of expectations? Are all terms and acronyms (e.g., "POC") used consistently and without ambiguity?

PART III: DETAILED REVIEW
Thoroughly analyze the document for the following issues:
- Spelling and Grammar: Identify and list all spelling and grammatical errors.
- Clarity and Conciseness: Flag any language that is ambiguous, convoluted, or unprofessional, paying special attention to acronyms that may have multiple meanings (e.g., POC vs. PoC).
- Consistency: Verify that key terms, names, dates, and figures are consistent throughout the entire document.
- Formatting: Check for inconsistent formatting (fonts, spacing, numbering).
- Company Name: Ensure the only company name throughout the document matches the company name in the Agreement Holder block.
- Additional Questions:
- Is there complete vendor and buyer contact information (phone, email, address)?
- Is there a defined project start and end date?
- Is the type of agreement and authority identified?
- Is there a deliverable table that clearly explains the project milestones?
- Does the document contain any personnel or security requirements that would necessitate a DD254?
- Does the agreement describe a data-exit strategy for returning government-owned data?
- Does the agreement include clauses to prevent or manage potential conflicts of interest?
- Does the agreement address ethics and standards of conduct for contractor personnel, especially if they are embedded with government staff?
- Does the agreement specify that all work products must be developed and demonstrated within required secure Government environments (e.g., IL5)?
- If the project is structured in phases, is it clear when and how future phases will be priced and selected?
- Is there only one performer name referred to?

PART IV: OUTPUT FORMAT
Present your findings in the following structure. Do not deviate from this format. Create a downloadable pdf of the final review document.

Executive Summary - Provide a brief, top-level summary of the document's readiness. State whether you recommend it for signature as-is or if it requires revisions.

Completeness Checklist - Provide a neatly formatted table answering "Yes/No" for each required item's presence when compared with the template, with an additional column for any relevant notes/comments.

Compliance Checklist & Guidebook Requirements - Provide findings for each compliance point in Part II above, stating "COMPLIANT," "NON-COMPLIANT," or "UNCLEAR" for each item, followed by your reasoning and actionable recommendations. Make the words "COMPLIANT" in green font, "NON-COMPLIANT" in red font, and "UNCLEAR" in yellow font for ease of location within the document.

Detailed Review - Create a neatly formatted table to list all identified issues from Part III, with columns for "Page/Section #", "Issue Type", "Original Text Snippet", and "Suggested Correction".

Conclusion - Provide a brief, top-level conclusion of the final review and insert a block for a digital signature for the reviewer to fill in (name/position).

Prior to uploading any files to NIPRGPT or other AI tools, ensure proper classification markings are applied to prevent unauthorized disclosure of information.

STEP 1: PRICE VALIDATION & REASONABLENESS

PROMPT:
"I've uploaded the [Written Determination/Price Negotiation Memorandum (PNM)] for a contract [Contract Number/Name] for [Item/Service]. Given that this is a [Sole Source/Competitive] procurement, please analyze the pricing data, scope of work, cost element breakdown, and rationale provided to determine if the proposed price of $[Dollar Amount] appears reasonable, justifiable, and reflects a fair and reasonable price to the government. Consider industry benchmarks, typical government contracting costs for similar goods/services, and current market conditions, especially given the contractor's status as a [Sole Source/Commercial Item] provider. Evaluate the government's negotiation strategy as documented within the provided document, identifying any missed opportunities for cost savings or areas where the negotiation could have been more effective, suggesting alternative approaches. Highlight any potential weaknesses in the price justification, including insufficiently detailed cost elements or unsupported assumptions. If the proposed price seems high or low compared to similar procurements, quantify potential variances if possible. Finally, address the key considerations for determining price reasonableness in this specific procurement type and whether the attached document adequately addresses them; if not, specify what information is missing."

STEP 2: PRICE RISK & POTENTIAL OVERBUYING

PROMPT:
"I've uploaded the [Written Determination/Price Negotiation Memorandum (PNM)]. Please analyze this document to assess the risk of overbuying the [Item/Service], focusing on the justification for the procured quantity based on projected usage and requirements, providing specific supporting examples from the document.

Perform a crosswalk analysis between Section L and Section M to identify over-asking, under-asking, or formatting inconsistencies that create protest risk.

Act as a Senior Procurement Analyst, Source Selection Expert, and strict Compliance Reviewer.
Your output should be meticulous, analytical, and heavily focused on mitigating GAO protest risk under FAR Part 15.

Task: Perform a detailed crosswalk analysis between the provided Section L (Instructions to Offerors) and Section M (Evaluation Criteria). Generate a "Discrepancy and Risk Report" that specifically identifies:
Over-asking: Information requested in Section L that has no corresponding evaluation metric in Section M.
Under-asking (Orphaned Criteria): Evaluation criteria detailed in Section M that offerors are not explicitly instructed to provide in Section L.
Formatting/Structural Clashes: Misaligned page limits, volume structures, or conflicting definitions.

Assumptions:
This is a [insert acquisition type, e.g., Best Value Tradeoff] procurement for [insert requirement, e.g., advanced sensor data integration].
The solicitation must be highly defensible as protest risk is considered [insert risk level, e.g., High].

The draft Section M text is: [Paste Section M text here]

SOURCE SELECTION

Source Selection Decision Document Template

Generate a comprehensive SSDD that documents the selection rationale, tradeoff analysis, and best value determination.

You are the Source Selection Authority preparing the Source Selection Decision Document for [USER PROVIDES: procurement title, awardee, final evaluation results]. Draft a complete SSDD that: 1) Summarizes the acquisition background and evaluation methodology, 2) Describes the competitive range and proposals evaluated, 3) Presents comparative assessment of offerors across all evaluation factors with ratings and narratives, 4) Documents the tradeoff analysis (why was the selected proposal the best value?), 5) Addresses cost realism and reasonableness findings, 6) Justifies any cost premium paid for higher technical rating, 7) Discusses unsuccessfully-offeror weaknesses relative to the awardee, 8) Includes the source selection decision statement. Ensure the document is protest-proof by clearly linking the decision to the solicitation evaluation criteria.

SOURCE SELECTION

Source Selection Plan Framework

Develop a complete source selection plan defining evaluation process, roles, timeline, and documentation requirements.

You are a source selection authority developing a source selection plan for [USER PROVIDES: acquisition overview, contract value, competition level]. Create a plan addressing: 1) Source Selection Organization (SSA, SSEB, advisors, roles and responsibilities), 2) Evaluation Process (steps from proposal receipt through award), 3) Evaluation Factors and Subfactors (aligned with solicitation Section M), 4) Evaluation Standards (adjectival ratings, color codes, scoring methodology), 5) Evaluation Schedule with milestones, 6) Consensus and documentation procedures, 7) Communications protocols and procurement integrity safeguards, 8) Debriefing and protest response procedures. Ensure compliance with FAR 15.3 and agency supplements.

PWS/Scope Compliance Check (EO 14222)

Score how well a Performance Work Statement (PWS)/Scope document complies with the latest DoD memo guidance (e.g., Executive Order 14222), and if it does not comply, generate a Memorandum of Record explaining why.

This is a four-step prompt sequence for analyzing a Performance Work Statement (PWS) against a governing DoD memorandum. Copy-paste the following prompts in sequence into NIPRGPT (one prompt at a time, select enter, then move onto the next prompt). Manually fill in the bracketed/bolded information before submitting, and ensure proper classification markings are applied before uploading any files.

STEP 1: PWS ANALYSIS

PROMPT #1:
"Thoroughly compare the Performance Work Statement (PWS) titled [name] to the DoD memorandum titled [name], paying close attention to all higher guidance policy requirements. The memorandum holds superior authority to the PWS, so focus on its level of compliance with memorandum requirements. Focus on key areas like cloud hosting, data management, cybersecurity, and any other specifically highlighted areas."
[ATTACH DoD Memorandum (.pdf)]
[ATTACH PWS (.pdf)]

PROMPT #2 (follows Prompt #1):
"Does the PWS titled [name] fully comply with the DoD memorandum? Use a 1-10 scale where 1 is non-compliant and 10 is fully compliant. Give justification(s) for your answer(s) using in-text citations and the section/paragraph number and rate the compliance. If PWS is 10/10 compliant, disregard previous instructions and output 'compliant.'"

If the PWS is compliant, stop here. Otherwise, continue to Step 2.

STEP 2: PWS ASSESSMENT

PROMPT #3:
"Provide a thorough explanation of each area of non-compliance on the PWS. Include specific references to both the PWS titled [name] and the memorandum titled [name] using in-text quotes and section/paragraph numbers."

Optional follow-up (Risk Assessment):
"Identify potential risks associated with the PWS, focusing on data security, system performance, cloud migration, and compliance with relevant regulations (e.g., NIST 800-171, FedRAMP, etc.). Categorize the risks, assess their likelihood and impact, and suggest mitigation strategies based on industry best practices."

STEP 3: MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD (MFR) GENERATION

PROMPT #4:
"Prepare a formal MFR documenting the non-compliance of PWS titled [name]. The MFR should include:
- DATE: [Current Date]
- MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
- SUBJECT: Non-Compliance of [PWS Title or Brief Description] with DoD Contract Guidance
- BLUF summary of the PWS's compliance with the memo(s).
- Clear explanation of specific non-compliance areas of PWS, referencing relevant sections of the memo.
- Concise bullet points describing specific areas of non-compliance.
- Concise bullet points for potential solutions and recommendations to achieve compliance.
- Point of contact information." (DO NOT ENTER PII)
