A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted. Market research was conducted; notice was given to 2 BPA holders. �Statutory requirement to obtain maximum practicable competition in simplified acquisitions is met where agency uses competitive procedures in establishing blanket purchase agreements (BPA) with multiple vendors; under these circumstances, there is no requirement that the agency conduct a further competition among the BPA holders in connection with each individual purchase order subsequently issued under the BPAs. �This vendor competed and was selected under the Blanket Purchase Agreement.� The information contained in this Limited Sources Justification is certified accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
