In order for this to become an open acquisition, other participants would need to contract with Sierra Nevada Corporation in order to determine the specific requirements of the survey as they pertrain to the performance of the Global Hawk DGPS. They would also need to be instructed in how to install these survey elements into the DGPS and be able to verify proper system operation. As the manufacturer of this equipment, Sierra Nevada Corporation has no requirement to provide information or instruction to third-party suppliers. 5. Description of market research conducted and the results or a stateemt why market research was not conducted. Market research was not conducted because no other DGPS contractor has access to the corporate proprietary information required to provide these services. 6.

An adequate purchase description suitable to solicit full and open competition has not been developed because of Corporate Proprietary information. 7.
