Market research consisted of checking all required sources. This requirement is for a commercial product that is readily offered to the public. There are no government unique requirements. The commercial items definition in FAR 2.101 has been satisfied. A Firm-Fixed-Price contract type is applicable to this requirement since it has a welldefined requirement, an experienced vendor providing the product, and there are stable market conditions.

A Tier 0 contract will be solicited and awarded to satisfy the customer’s valid requirement. It is hereby determined that this procurement is commercial in nature pursuant to the definitions and constraints of FAR 2.100 and FAR 12.102.
