6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: ACC-RI shall publish the notices required by FAR

5.201. Because this is a sole source action, effective competition is not applicable. The Government will achieve subcontracting competition by including FAR clause 52.244-5, Competition in Subcontracting, which states that the contractor shall select subcontractors on a competitive basis to the maximum practicable extent.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: No additional efforts outside of posting a sources sought were completed. Due to the low dollar and limited quantity needing demiled and disposed, no actions will be taken to increase competition. The Government does not foresee any follow-on requirements as this effort will deplete the stockpile of these items.

8. Market Research: In accordance with DFARS 205.205-71, DFARS 206.302-1(d), and DFARS Procedures, Guidance and Information 206.302-1(d), ACC-RI posted a sources sought notice, W519TC24SPROJECTILES, on the SAM.gov website on 13 May 2024 to identify potential sources to demilitarize and dispose of 5”, 6”, and 8” cartridges and projectiles and bulk material containing Explosive D. Responses to this sources sought notice were due 27 May 2024. The sources sought yielded one response from G.D.O. The Program Lead from PM CCS evaluated the response and determined that G.D.O. currently possesses the capability to perform this work

9. Interested Sources: To date, no other sources have expressed a written interest in this requirement.
