The overall cost of this acquisition will be fair and reasonable to the Government. In accordance with FAR 15.403-4, the contractor will be required to provide certified cost or pricing data to be used to support the Government's evaluation of the proposed cost.

VIII. Description of the market research conducted and the results, or a statement of the reasons market research was not conducted.

Market research was conducted during May 2019 and completed 17 May 2019 in accordance with FAR 10.001 and 10.002. The market research techniques used are as follows:

As described in Section VI above, a SS/RFI was posted on FedBizOpps advising industry of the pending acquisition and soliciting inquiries from interested vendors. The SS/RFI was posted on 8 February 2019 under solicitation number FD2060-20-000250. No one responded to the SS/RFI.

The team conducted a review of several industry-wide searches on the Internet, using NAICS 336413, which detailed the history of design for the item and for the test set was searched which produced negative results for possible vendors.

A search was conducted for any potential Small Business that may possess the capabilities to repair this asset using the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) web site, which yielded 94 potential vendors. Vendors identified through these searches were evaluated for capability. Each vendors' web-based product line or product history was reviewed to determine if the part(s) under consideration were being repaired by that vendor or if that vendor had information concerning associate contract agreements with SAC to share or acquire the proprietary data for the specific part(s) under consideration. No data was found; therefore the potential vendors were determined non-capable based on lack of access to necessary proprietary data to repair and/or test the Refueling Probe.

The Refueling Probe assembly does not fit the definition of a commercial item as defined in FAR Part
