Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000390004-3 \ te 1 CONTROL NO. JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR QTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1. (UW) Contracting Authority: Virginia Contracting Activity, F. 0. Box 46563, Washington, DC 20050-6543. a. CU) @uthority Cited: 10 U.S.C. 2504(c) (i); FAR 6.302-1, "Only one Re sponsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy Agency requirements. 3. (U) Description of Supplies/Services: The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) proposes to procure Phenomenological Research and Analysis Services for a DIA special activity program. External assistance funds available far this Congressional Directed Program total ¥1,700,000.00, 4. (U) Description of Action: It is anticipated that a cost-plus-fixed fee contract will be negotiated and awarded to satisfy this requirement. Funds will include both R&D and G2M as cited on Furchase Request No. SIO/OO12Z/91, =. (UU) Reason for Authority Cited: a. ({(S/NF) This action is based on the need to utilize previous research achievements developed under other DOD-sponsored R&D efforts. The bulk of this prior R&D effort was provided by the Department of the Army's Surgeon General Office (SGRD) in 1985 and spanned several years. This basic and applied research effort involved Dr. Edwin May as the principle researcher and program manager. Dr. May was at that time with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), Menlo Fark, CA. He has since joined the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and has taken his extensive data base and key research assistants with him. Consequently, contract requirements can only be satisfied by the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). By doing so, duplication of effort can be avoided and maximum research efficiency can be achieved. b. (S/NF) This contractor is uniquely qualified due to their extensive background in interdisciplinary research areas that spans aver 20 years. This multidisciplinary staff will be available for consultation as the need arises. The contractor has on its staff two physicists who have extensive experience in phenomenological research involving psychoenergetics investigations. One of these is Dr. Jaseph Angela who has had over 10 years of involvement in this field in a project management capacity and at applications research levels. The other physicist, Dr. Edwin May, is regarded as the leading U.S. investigator in this phenomenological area. He has been a program manager in this area since 1984, and has a long term involvement (over 19 years) in this field. His extensive work history provides for continuity not available from any other individual. He is recognized by investigators world-wide, and can easily remain current with relevant foreign research.

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000390004-3 SECRET c. (S/NF) The contractor has an extensive classified data base which has co-mingled with both government and proprietary data that is essential for this contract. It would require several years for a new contractor to achieve the present level of expertise and competence possessed by Dr. May and Dr. Angela. This would create a serious delay in pursuit of appropriate research, in achievement of application-oriented results and in understanding potential threat posed by similer foreign activities in this area. d. (0) There is also an “urgency" aspect to this contract. The Congressional direction included a time-critical task requiring development of a detailed term research plan for this area. The only way to meet this time sensitive effort is to utilize existing capabilities of SAIC. & (UW) Efforts to Obtain Competition: Due te the uniqueness of this research area, there are no other qualified research facilities and personnel available to satisfy this contract. To bring other potential organizations up to speed would not be possible without unacceptable delays or additional costs. . 7. (WD) Action to Increase Competition: Every effort will be made to release research results as widely as possible to attract other potential researchers. Not only will this be accomplished through specialized (and properly classified) channels, but also appropriate portion will be released at unclassified levels to attract interest in academic facilities. 8. (U) Market Survey: Based on the significant advantage that SAIC possesses in this area, a Market Survey would not serve a useful purpose at this time. 9 (UW) Interested Sources: No other source has expressed an interest in this requirement. 10. (U) Other Factors: a. (S) Acquisition data availability: Data from previous government sponsored research is available in DIA. Since this was part of a controlled access project, every effort will be made to downgrade, and where practical, declassify basic aspects of the research. This will, in time, generate a wider interest in this field. b. (U) Unusual and Compelling Urgency: One of the line items (6.1) in the Statement of Work requires immediate response by the Contractor in order to meet one of the Congressionally-directed requirements. This requirement can only be satisfied via other than full and open competition and by utilizing the existing SAIC capabilities.

(U) Subcontracting Competition: The same basic reasons for this other than full and open competition for SAIC also apply to subcontractor selection. There are only a few individuals/facilities available that have any established expertise for supporting a portion of this unique research area. It would not be timely or cost advantageous to the government for the Contractor to pursue competitive action for the highly specialized support that may be required. 17.
