Information gathered by the market research team members may be critical to final determinations of industry capabilities: industry practices; available technologies; market trends; standard terms and conditions; competitive market forces; and availability of products or services. Documenting your market research results enables the sharing of information, eliminates or minimizes duplication of effort, facilities organization of research results, preserves the record, maintains an official file, and provides the basis for the commerciality decision.\nGathering market research data is important, but arranging it in a manner that makes your analysis efficient and effective is just as important. FAR 10.0002(e) states we have to document our efforts – but it doesn't tell us how. Described below are suggested topics to help in documenting your market research efforts. This template is a guide to some key areas that should be considered in your market research report and to assist in developing the market research portion of your Acquisition Strategy Panel.\nMARKET RESEARCH REPORT\nProduct or Service Needed:\nClearly state the what is needed\nPurpose of the Product or Service\nWhat is this product or service to be used for?\nPerformance Requirements\nWhat performance requirement s must the product or service meet?\nSupplier Requirements\nWhat requirement s must the supplier meet?\nScheduling Requirements\nAre there any scheduling requirements to consider?\nDistribution Requirements\nAre there distribution needs to be accounted for?\nGeographic Issues\nAre there any geographic or location limitations / issues?\nBackground Information:\nDescribe the background of the procurement, circumstances/events leading up to the requirement.\nAny pertinent information that may be appropriate.\nInformation Relative to Agency Requirements:\nDescribe the essential physical and performance characteristics/functions required to meet the government’s needs.\nDescribe the requirement in performance terms; function – what the product or service must do; performance – the qualities and attributes of the product or service; any physical characteristic requirements; and schedule requirements.\nAddress any issues concerning product characteristics and/or user requirements gathered from market research.\nAre commercial and/or non-developmental items available that meet requirements?\nCan available items be modified to meet requirements?\nAny question about a commercial or non-development item’s ability to function in the user’s expected operating environment?\nAddress any cost effectiveness issues associated with user requirements.\nAny potential cost drivers without commensurate benefit?\nAny cost/performance tradeoffs that may be recommended?\nAny distinguishing characteristics\nIdentification and Involvement of the Functional Disciplines in Performance of Market Research:\nDescribe the involvement of the various functions (User, technical, contracting, financial management, logistics, etc.) in the market research effort, include office symbols and telephone numbers.\nMarket Research Techniques Used:\nDescribe the various methods used to arrive at the market research findings. Examples of techniques that may be used are: Internet searches, industry days, one-on-one industry sessions, Requests for Information (RFIs) to Industry (Solicitation for Information or Planning Purposes), Commerce Business Daily announcements, etc.\nAvailable Sources and the Methodology Used to Compile the Sources:\nIdentify the number of sources contacted; identify whether they were large business, small business, small/disadvantaged business, Section 8A business, woman-owned business, government/non-government.\nIf sole source, describe efforts to locate additional sources.\nExplain the rational used to exclude sources (remember you are looking for a CAPAB","cbCaioGj0XoMLJne","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioGj0XoMLJne","docx",16504,"English","# Introduction\n# Market Research Report\n## Product or Service Needed\n## Background Information\n## Information Relative to Agency Requirements\n## Functional Disciplines in Market Research\n## Market Research Techniques Used\n## Available Sources and Methodology\n## Market Analysis\n## Extent of Commerciality in the Market\n## Prevalent Business Practices\n## Government’s Presence and Leverage in the Market\n## Customary Business Practices and Terms\n## Market and Pricing Issues\n## Trends\n## Description of Commercial or Non-developmental Items","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of documenting market research findings in an acquisition decision?\",\"answer\":\"Documenting market research results supports acquisition decisions and preserves an official record.
