8. Market Research Conducted: Internet searches confirmed that LRP Publications is the sole lawful, owner of proprietary rights to CyberFeds on the web subscription.

10. Sources: LRP Publications, Inc.

11. Actions Taken to Remove Barriers: If DCMA has a continued need for this subscription, additional market research will be conducted to determine if alternative solutions and sources are available that will meet the Agency needs on future requirements.
