6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: Chemical experts at Dugway Proving Ground continue to review technical publications, professional trade journals, and manufacturer literature in an attempt to locate sources with the same expertise, technology, and ability to meet all specification requirements. These efforts result in Agilent Technologies, Inc. being the sole manufacturer. Purchase of a system from any other manufacturer would likely result in substantial cost to the Government.

a. Effective competition: Agilent is the OEM large business and has one business partner (Technical Communities) on GSA schedule. Significant price savings is achievable with Agilent Technologies, Inc. via GSA schedule. Technical Communities, Inc.’s schedule pricing has a significant markup and does not offer discounted pricing.

b. Subcontracting competition: N/A – No subcontractors have been identified.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Both open market and GSA are reviewed at every opportunity.
