4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

A Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert) search utilizing NAICS code 332994 yielded 310 Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) /Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) vendors that can possibly fulfill this requirement.

Market research efforts include queries on Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), Small Business Administration (SBA), General Services Administration (GSA), and System for Award Management (SAM). Queried FPDS by NAICS code, Blackhawk Gun Holsters via all databases.

Searched GSA found current Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) 47QSMS24D009 and their Special Item Numbers (SINs) to see which contractors are already offering similar service. We surveyed multiple items that are requested in the acquisition and identified that not all items were available by SDVOSB/VOSB contractor on MAS 47QSMS24D009.

Several quotes submitted by the customer suggests that there are two or more in the open market that can provide the items at a fair and reasonable price for the government.
