acquire a commercial data subscription to gain unique insights into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) through the analysis of historical cases (pre-1990). The subscription service will provide AARO with access to a pre-existing, proprietary commercial data subscription and is not for professional labor or advisory services. Authority and Justification: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

Furthermore, NUFOHRC has unparalleled, specialized expertise in analyzing this specific data, demonstrated by its staff's proven ability to generate the high-quality, science-driven analytical studies required by the government. Market research conducted to date indicates that no other organization possesses the historical depth, volume of unique records, and specialized analytical expertise to meet the government's minimum needs. Consequently, NUFOHRC is currently identified as the only source capable of satisfying this requirement. Submission of Information: This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
