B01_Limiting_Competition_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Market Research (MFR) - Limiting Competition under Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) form for the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Rock Island Arsenal. The document indicates a new requirement for a sole-source procurement from Jane's Group UK Limited for a land and weapons reference portfolio module of military weapons systems.

The procurement involves a fixed-price contract for a proprietary database that provides a complete tri-service, joint, and strategic reference portfolio of military weapons systems under development, in production, and in service globally. The contract is being pursued under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, with justification based on urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, and industrial mobilization. The document specifically notes that Jane Group UK Limited is the only authorized supplier with the proprietary databases needed for the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, making them the sole source for this strategic military weapons systems reference data.
