Agency and other government personnel are not available with the requisite skills and analytical background.

(C) To what extent do the proposed services represent the discharge of a Governmental function which calls for the exercise of personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government? Not at all. (D) To what extent is the requirement for services to be performed under the proposed contract continuing rather than short-term or intermittent?

Not at all. (C) To what extent does the Government retain the right (whether actually exercised or not) to supervise the work of the contractor employees, either directly or indirectly? Not at all. (D) To what extent does the Government reserve the right to supervise or control the method in which the contractor performs the service, the number of people he will employ, the specific duties of individual employees, and similar details? Not at all. (E) To what extent will the Government review performance by each individual contractor employee, as opposed to reviewing a final product on an overall basis after completion of the work? Not at all. (F) To what extent does the Government retain the right to have contractor employees removed from the job for reasons other than misconduct or security? Not at all. 3. OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT (A) Are the services properly defined as an end product? Yes. (B) Is the contractor undertaking a specific task or project that is definable either at the inception of the contract or at some point during the performance, or is the work defined on a day to day basis?

(C) To what extent are any of the elements in (2) and (3) above present in the administration of the contract, regardless of whether they are provided for by the terms of the contract? Not at all. 5. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS (A) Is the requirement the result of an unsolicited proposal? If so, describe. No. (B) If the procurement is sole source, why is it sole source? The proposed contractor has unique personnel and proprietary approaches to this area as discussed in 1 (B). (C) What is the potential for follow-on procurement? There is some potential for follow-on procurement depending on the nature and extent of achievements in the subject area. The current state of this field of study is judged to be on the threshold of breakthroughs which would radically change the nature of this requirement. (D) If it is significant, will the Government become irrevocably committed to sole source procurement? Not likely. If anticipated developments materialize this field of study could become much more popular with a greater number of contractors and academic institutions.
