Market research indicates that despite Black Gold being a sole manufacturer, there are multiple authorized distributors, ensuring multiple offers can be expected. The justification is founded on FAR regulations, allowing for brand name specifications under certain conditions, and an aim to promote competition while maintaining the integrity of the research data. The procurement emphasizes small business participation while adhering to necessary federal guidelines and ensuring relevant and technically sound material is obtained for the testing program.
