c.
(S/NR
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 tor
a
new contractor
to
achieve the present level
of expertise and competence possessed by
Dr-
Nay
and
Dr.
Angelo.
This would create
a serious delay
in pursuit
of
appropriate
research,
in achievement
of
application-oriented results and
in
understanding potential
threat posed by similar foreign activities
in
this
area.
d .
(C)
There
is also
an
"urgency
aspect
to this contract.
lhe
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
3AIC.
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.
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 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.
<U)
I nterested Sour ces;
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 Congressional ly-directed
requi rements.
This
requirement
can only be satisfied via other
than
full
and
open competition
and by utilizing the existing SAIC capabilities.
