You can't split purchases under the FAR. If you can't deliver everything required to solve a large problem in one Sprint, aren't you just splitting the requirement?
No. For several reasons: 1) Multiple sprints are not separate parts of the same requirement as each sprint provides a unique and materially distinct deliverable. 2) The "total requirement" is definitionally unknown at the time of purchase as the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) being delivered is satisfied a distinct business requirement, and subsequent requirements are not fully defined or prioritized as an integral part of the Agile concept.
This method of acquisition offers incredible advantage to the government in that there is no commitment or work beyond the micropurchase being executed at a given time and the Government will re-validate and refine any remaining requirement, as well as reconsider source selection, at the time of any future purchase it may elect to make
You can't really deliver something of value at or below $10,000- Can you?
Absolutely we can! Because we look at the process of what WE do as well. We leverage the fact that we've solved versions of the same problem numerous times before. We make ourselves faster the same way we make your operation faster- by ensuring that we only learn the same thing one time and then baking it into a repeatable process. Of course there is adaptation, refinement, and customization, but things go more smoothly when you're not "re-inventing the wheel" every time.
