Engage knowledgeable people (government and industry) in specific markets:

Ricardo Gutierrez, Engineer, Redstone Arsenal Donald Boggs, Physicist, APSL, Redstone Arsenal

Seek feedback via formal requests for information, sources sought synopses, and draft PWS/SOW/SOO statements in Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov and, when appropriate, technical or scientific journals, as well as business publications:

Perform web searches:

A web search was conducted on the Small Business Dynamic Search website that was conducted from April 16, 2026, to search for any small businesses that could match the criteria that are needed to meet this mission. Using the NAICS code 334310, we located over 3,662 vendors matching that code. To narrow the search, we utilized “Lab Standard Microphone System” as a keyword and found zero vendors unable to provide this product.

Conducted market surveys to obtain information from potential sources:

USATA Engineers obtained information outside of the request for information from the ACC-RSA and located one source (see supplier list) with the ability to provide the Lab Standard Microphone System.
