The Relationship of Source Selection Sensitive Data to Competition and Negotiations,

Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine whether relationships exist between government ownership of source selection sensitive data and the level of competition, the time/cost of the negotiation effort, and the level of incentives/protection. Currently, there is no evidence to indicate the effect of any such relationships on the acquisition of technical data. Interviews conducted with Contracting Officers and contractor representatives revealed that the acquisition of source selection sensitive data can be impacted by the use of a descision model. The model, in the form of a contract clause, designed to protect technical data acquired with unlimited rights prior to formal source selection resulted in a contractor perception of increased willingness to share proprietary data with the government.
