Training will be primarily delivered at DET Chesapeake but will involve travel to other CENSECFOR learning activities located in San Antonio, TX; San Diego, CA; Mayport, FL; Bangor, WA; Pearl Harbor, HI; Yokosuka, Japan and Groton, CT.

6. Description of market research among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.

The requiring activity and contracting activity have conducted market research among schedule holders.

Controlled F.O.R.C.E. is the developer and sole source provider of the training system offering renewed certification.

Further research revealed these training services are regularly bought and sold in the commercial marketplace; therefore, the requirement meets the definition of a commercial item. Additional research included a review of the GSA eLibrary website, which revealed the required MACH training is available from only one source via GSA: Controlled

F.O.R.C.E. (GS07F0613W).

7. Any other facts supporting the justification.

This procurement uses a GSA Schedule and will be solicited and awarded in accordance with FAR Subpart 8.4.

8. Actions the Agency may take to remove or overcome barriers to competition.

For the aforementioned reasons and those set forth in Paragraph 4, NAVSUP FLC Norfolk will solicit to Controlled F.O.R.C.E., Inc. The contracting activity has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of services covered by this document.

The approving official has reviewed the previous justification, which indicated that if another potential source emerges, NAVSUP FLC Norfolk will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.

The approving official has reviewed the previous limited sources justification and has determined that the internet searches and review of the GSA eLibrary website done for this procurement action sufficiently completed the actions required by the previous limited sources justification. The previous LSJ stated that the contracting office will assess competition for future requirements to determine if it is feasible. As detailed above, market research has confirmed that CONTROLLED F.O.R.C.E is still the only source of the required services.
