5. Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10.001 and 10.002. The engineer searched the System for Award Management (SAM), Small Business Dynamic Search, D043, HIS, Haystack and the PDM Gateway. Research revealed, there are five businesses capable of repairing the Pressure Altimeter; Elbit Systems of America (large business), Instrument Tech Corporation (small business), Gyro House Inc. (small business), Olmsted Instrument Company (small business) and Air Shunt Instruments Inc (small business) all possess the required manuals and test equipment to repair this Pressure Altimeter. This repair is restricted to three companies but since two out of the three are considered small businesses; the Government is required by FAR 19.502-2 to automatically set-aside for small business. Elbit Systems of America is listed as the OEM and owner of the complete data package for the Pressure Altimeter; however, the Government cannot purchase, develop or otherwise obtain the data due to the OEM unwilling to sell as of 17 Mar 2016. The agency’s minimum needs can be satisfied by the services available from the above-cited sources. The capabilities are demonstrated with the current repair contract as well as a previous repair contract with no deficiencies.

6. Based on conditions stated above, no further action will be taken to improve the competitive status of this item.

7. I hereby certify that the above information is complete and accurate.
