If no IC strategy has been developed, provide supporting          rationale for this position.          (a)If, in the IC strategy, the                development of a detailed IC plan was determined to be applicable, include the plan                by text or by reference. If the development of the IC plan was determined not to be                applicable, summarize the details of the analysis forming the basis of this                decision.                                                   (b)If the program involves peacetime                and wartime hardware configurations that are supported by logistics support plans,                identify their impact on the IC plan.                                                 2.3.6.11 Assess the long-term technical data and computer          software needs of those systems and subsystems and establish an acquisition strategy that          provides for the technical data and computer software deliverables and associated license          rights needed to sustain those systems and subsystems over their life cycle. The strategy          may include—          (a)The development of maintenance                capabilities within DOD; or                                                   (b)Competition for contracts for                sustainment of the systems or subsystems.                                                 2.3.6.12 Include a plan for the preservation and storage          of special tooling associated with the production of hardware for MDAPs through the end of          the service life of the related weapons system. The plan shall include the identification          of any contract clauses, facilities, and funding required for the preservation and storage          of such tooling.          2.3.7 Discuss the use of category management, including          strategic sourcing. Address whether the requirement can be achieved through an existing          Federal, DOD, or DON contract vehicle. If establishing a new contract vehicle when a          similar solution exists, include supporting information to justify why it is necessary to          meet the requirement. In addition, address category management tier solutions and Analysis          of Alternative (AoA) requirements, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)          memorandum M-19-13, for all common requirements.          2.3.8 For IT Services acquisitions, discuss how it was          determined that no private sector or government source can better support the function.          2.4 *Competition*             *.*          2.4.1 Describe how competition will be sought, promoted,          and sustained throughout the course of the acquisition. If full and open competition is not          contemplated, cite the appropriate FAR authority. Discuss the basis for the application of          that authority, identify the source(s), and discuss why full and open competition cannot be          obtained.          2.4.2 Identify any known barriers to increasing          subcontract competition and address how to overcome them, if possible.          2.4.3 Address any restrictions on foreign participation at          the prime or subcontract level.          2.4.4 For STRAPs for contracts under a MDAP, discuss how          the following measures were considered:          (a)Competitive prototyping.
