Market Research Gathering Information About Commercial Products and Services

Abstract

DoD 5000.2-R, Mandatory Procedures for Major Defense Acquisition Programs and Major Automated Information System Acquisition Programs, requires that market research and analysis be conducted to determine the availability and suitability of commercial and nondevelopmental items prior to the commencement of any development effort, during the development effort, and prior to the preparation of any product description. Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation prescribes policies and procedures for conducting market research to arrive at the most suitable approach to acquiring, distributing, and supporting supplies and services. This handbook is intended to complement DoD 5000.2-R and Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation by providing general guidance, tools, and examples to assist you in conducting market research for a wide variety of items and services.
