    JA Project Blue - Sole Source SP800026Q0002 - Final_Redacted.pdf
    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Strategic Materials seeks a sole source acquisition for Project Blue Market Service Reports from The Project Blue Group Limited. This one-year, firm-fixed-price contract, valued at an unspecified amount, is for market service reports on various materials crucial for the National Defense Stockpile program. The DLA justifies this non-competitive action under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), citing The Project Blue Group Limited as the only source capable of providing the uniquely developed, granular datasets and market analyses required. Market research, including discussions with government agencies and other data providers, confirmed Project Blue's unique capability. The contracting officer anticipates a fair and reasonable price based on an independent government cost estimate and commercial terms. The DLA will publicize the action on SAM.gov to allow for potential responses, despite the sole source justification. Efforts to overcome competition barriers, such as a Broad Agency Announcement for supply chain analyses, have not yielded alternative sources at the required technical level.
