VI. Description of the market research conducted and the results, or explain why market research was not conducted.

Market Research was conducted for this new requirement indicated that offers will be obtained from at least two (2) responsible small business concern in terms of fair market price, delivery, and quality. A search on Sam.gov produced sufficient results for this requirement. Award shall be made to the offeror who provides the best value to the Government.

A DD2579 is not required and the Non-Manufacturer Rule (NMR) is not applicable.

VII. Other facts supporting the justification.

The ITW/GSE 1400 28 VDC has been tested and implemented at other installations that support T-6 Aircraft missions. It is the only approved model for use with T-6 Aircraft. Personnel are already trained in the safe operation and maintenance of the ITW/GSE 1400 GPU.

Additionally, any training received on other equipment would not be transferable to other installations.
