7. Description of the market research and results: Market research was conducted by USATA technicians January 25, 2024 – February 05, 2024, IAW FAR 10.001. The following techniques were used:
• Contact with knowledgeable person in Government or industry:
• Issued formal requests for information, sources sought synopses, draft statements of work and solicitations in appropriate technical or scientific journals, business publications, and/or in Beta.Sam.gov:
A sources sought synopses was posted by the ACC-RSA on behalf of USATA on January 25, 2024 – February 05, 2024, under the PCF Cabinet number for ten days and multiple vendors (paragraph 6) have reached out to inquire about providing this equipment.
• Used Internet tools and perform Web searches:
Went to Small Business Dynamic Search website that was conducted to see if any small businesses could match the criteria. Performed SBA Dynamic search for NAICS 334515 and found 2208 matching profiles. To narrow the search, we utilized Dual Tera Bridge as a keyword and found zero vendors that match the criteria. However, through Internet search engines (Google) using Dual Tera Bridge as the search, one vendor was located to potential provide the equipment.
• Discuss Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) process:
USATA went to govshop.com to obtain OEM information on the potential vendors size, cage code, location, annual revenue, number of employees, and contact information. USATA was able to locate one vendor (see paragraph 6).
• Discuss the review of Government or commercial databases:
USATA Technicians and Engineers discussed potential procurement of the Dual Tera Bridge with vendor via internet and phone conversations during July 2023 – December 13,2023.
USATA obtained vendor information from previous market research.
