Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003000450008-2 SG1A SECRET Dr. Puthoff a TS clearance. It is also anticipated that SCI clearance could also be readily granted, since Dr. Puthoff maintained that Clearance level while at SRI International. Any near-term Secret corr mdence with Dr. PUSnOeS can Be Spleen 6. (U) Efforts to Obtain Competition: Due to 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. Delays could exceed 2-3 years and would not permit current research requirements to be accomplished. 7. (U) 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 portions will be released at unclassified levels to attract interest in academic facilities. 8. (U) Market Survey: Based on the significant advantage that the proposed contractors possess in this area, a Market Survey would not serve a useful purpose at this time. No other source has expressed an interest in this requirement. Recent contacts at technical symposiums on this topic indicate that no one would be willing to enter into this activity except possibly as a subcontractor. Other researchers in this field are highly specialized, are located at universities or private foundations, and do not want to engage in any classified or broad-based research at this time. However, every effort will be made to involve some of these researchers as subcontractors for unclassified aspects of this contract. 9. (U) Interested Sources: As a result of investigations for other potential contractors as discussed above, and pursuant to FAR 5.202(a) (1), notice of the proposed contract will not be published in the CBD since the synopsis cannot be worded to preclude disclosure of the agency's needs. Such disclosure would compromise national security. 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) Subcontracting Competition: The same basic reasons for this limited procurement also apply to potential subcontractor selection. There are only a few individuals/facilities available that have any established expertise for supporting unclassified portions 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.
