(b)(11) A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services required:

Contracting and requirement staff continue to conduct appropriate market research to determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency’s requirement exist and to overcome competition barriers.
