Statutory authority (FAR 6.303-2(a)(4)) FAR 6.302-1 "Only one responsible source, and no other supplies or services, will satisfy agency requirements." 5.

Determination of fair and reasonable cost (FAR 6.303 2(a)(7)) Based on a previous procurement that originally purchased the B1051TS Control Panel that is currently installed at the Kenny Gate on Offutt AFB this price was found to be fair and reasonable as the price is directly in line with the original purchase. 8. Market survey (FAR 6.303 2(a)(8)) In accordance with FAR 10.001 (a)(3), the results of market research determined that there are no companies capable of satisfying this Air Force requirement due to the proprietary nature of the security system that currently resides with Delta Scientific Corporation. 9.
