The proposed action is for products for which the Government believes that there is only one responsible source and no other vendor will satisfy the agency's requirement. The BGS is the only source for this data that can satisfy the USGS and Air Force requirements. There are no other sources for geomagnetic observatory data in the United Kingdom.

Those firms believing they can provide similar product/service must provide supporting evidence that they can furnish the product/service identified above in sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirements.
