00:00.259 --> 00:02.315
Alright folks . Welcome back to part

00:02.315 --> 00:04.579
two of filling in the market research

00:04.590 --> 00:05.590
report template .

00:10.890 --> 00:13.239
The remaining portion of the template

00:13.250 --> 00:15.890
is self explanatory , but we'd like to

00:15.899 --> 00:17.940
give you some context as to why the

00:17.950 --> 00:20.579
information is needed . Remember ,

00:20.719 --> 00:22.941
these tutorials are created with you in

00:22.941 --> 00:25.052
mind . So we want to be sure there is

00:25.059 --> 00:27.450
no ambiguity in filling the template

00:27.459 --> 00:31.139
out . Parts two through five are

00:31.149 --> 00:33.619
informational and help to aid in going

00:33.630 --> 00:36.990
from knowing what is being requested to

00:37.000 --> 00:39.869
strategizing how the RCO will

00:39.880 --> 00:42.470
ultimately solicit and make an award .

00:43.479 --> 00:46.959
Part two prior purchasing history .

00:47.669 --> 00:49.830
If known , please provide how the

00:49.840 --> 00:52.159
product or service was obtained in the

00:52.169 --> 00:54.900
past three years . If your command has

00:54.909 --> 00:57.720
not procured the product or service

00:57.729 --> 01:00.090
through any means , then leaving this

01:00.099 --> 01:03.560
field blank or typing N A is fine .

01:04.480 --> 01:07.099
However , if you have information on

01:07.110 --> 01:09.680
how this was done previously , it can

01:09.690 --> 01:12.239
bolster the RC OS market research by

01:12.250 --> 01:14.489
allowing us to review past contracts

01:14.720 --> 01:17.080
and the strategies used in previous

01:17.089 --> 01:19.311
procurements , potentially reducing the

01:19.311 --> 01:22.239
time it takes to make an award which is

01:22.250 --> 01:24.583
a benefit to accomplishing your mission .

01:24.583 --> 01:27.069
Now keep in mind if our office ,

01:27.080 --> 01:29.819
National capital region , RCO awarded

01:29.830 --> 01:32.160
the contract . That contract number

01:32.169 --> 01:35.519
will begin with Mike 00264 .

01:35.949 --> 01:38.650
However , if you have knowledge of

01:38.660 --> 01:41.709
another contract , feel free to list

01:41.720 --> 01:45.050
those as well . For example , Camp Lee

01:45.360 --> 01:48.849
RCO is Mike 67001 .

01:49.839 --> 01:53.809
Pendleton's RC is 00681 and

01:53.819 --> 01:56.099
Micky com headquarters contracting is M

01:56.110 --> 01:59.860
95494 part

01:59.870 --> 02:03.419
three points of contact . The RCO

02:03.580 --> 02:05.489
asked that you fill in the entire

02:05.500 --> 02:08.410
points of contacts table . This helps

02:08.419 --> 02:11.380
to identify all stakeholders from end

02:11.389 --> 02:14.130
user to financial analysts for each

02:14.139 --> 02:17.080
purchase request . This significantly

02:17.089 --> 02:19.169
helps reduce the time it takes to

02:19.179 --> 02:21.710
identify issues such as an award

02:21.720 --> 02:24.899
obligation being recorded in D I or an

02:24.910 --> 02:27.589
invoice pending acceptance in WF which

02:27.600 --> 02:29.990
ties into our vendors getting paid on

02:30.000 --> 02:32.589
time . Even if you have submitted

02:32.600 --> 02:35.289
multiple purchase requests in any given

02:35.300 --> 02:37.839
fiscal year , we ask that you provide

02:37.850 --> 02:40.419
this information for each request

02:40.429 --> 02:43.479
submitted to the RC . We never know

02:43.490 --> 02:45.546
when turnover will take place in our

02:45.546 --> 02:48.139
respective sections . Not to mention

02:48.149 --> 02:50.149
the RCO has multiple contract

02:50.160 --> 02:52.289
specialist working requirements that

02:52.300 --> 02:55.330
flow into the RC . So please do not

02:55.339 --> 02:57.940
assume we already have this information .

02:59.410 --> 03:03.169
Part four sources side . Please don't

03:03.179 --> 03:05.110
confuse this with fulfilling the

03:05.119 --> 03:07.720
requirement listed in the PR package

03:07.729 --> 03:11.039
checklist for providing an actual quote

03:11.050 --> 03:14.440
or estimate from a vendor that quote

03:14.449 --> 03:16.282
should be provided as a separate

03:16.282 --> 03:19.830
document in the PR package as evidence

03:19.839 --> 03:23.710
to how much a thing cost when compiling

03:23.720 --> 03:26.169
all docs to submit to the RCO .

03:27.820 --> 03:30.410
This part allows you to show the RCO

03:30.619 --> 03:33.389
what you have done to identify where

03:33.399 --> 03:36.649
the product or service you need can be

03:36.660 --> 03:39.589
procured from . Now , keep in mind this

03:39.600 --> 03:42.139
simply helps to identify not only the

03:42.149 --> 03:44.770
commerciality of your requirement , it

03:44.779 --> 03:47.779
also identifies what the source is .

03:47.869 --> 03:50.259
When you sought estimates for budgetary

03:50.270 --> 03:53.220
reasons , don't automatically conclude

03:53.490 --> 03:57.059
that the RC will award a contract to a

03:57.070 --> 03:59.580
source or sources . You have sought ,

04:00.320 --> 04:03.020
we request that you provide at least

04:03.029 --> 04:05.410
three sources where your requirement

04:05.419 --> 04:08.589
can be procured from unless of course

04:08.600 --> 04:10.899
your product or service can only be

04:10.910 --> 04:13.750
provided by a single source , also

04:13.759 --> 04:16.350
known as a sole source . However ,

04:16.670 --> 04:19.059
that's explained in another video on

04:19.070 --> 04:22.160
our website , preferably you have

04:22.170 --> 04:25.320
insured , the vendor slash contractor

04:25.709 --> 04:28.200
has an active registration in Sam dot

04:28.209 --> 04:31.149
gov , a requirement for any dod

04:31.160 --> 04:33.489
contracting office to award a federal

04:33.500 --> 04:37.350
contract to a company . And even better

04:37.359 --> 04:40.070
if the sources you identify are small

04:40.079 --> 04:42.730
businesses as the federal government

04:42.739 --> 04:45.750
automatically and exclusively sets

04:45.760 --> 04:48.350
aside all contract requirements below

04:48.359 --> 04:52.269
$250,000 for small business concerns

04:52.500 --> 04:54.679
which is governed by title 13 code of

04:54.690 --> 04:58.320
federal regulation . Please fill in the

04:58.329 --> 05:01.149
entire table and do not leave anything

05:01.160 --> 05:04.140
blank . The red letter examples prompt

05:04.149 --> 05:06.920
you where you might search for sources ,

05:07.470 --> 05:11.160
be it GS A NASA soup or simply the

05:11.170 --> 05:13.779
open market other than places such as

05:13.790 --> 05:17.529
Walmart Amazon , et cetera . Part

05:17.540 --> 05:21.320
five , actual address for delivery of

05:21.329 --> 05:24.510
supplies or performance of services .

05:25.309 --> 05:28.190
This is self explanatory , however

05:28.200 --> 05:30.839
necessary to include a comment

05:30.959 --> 05:33.089
emphasizing the importance of filling

05:33.100 --> 05:35.320
in this part as well . There has been

05:35.329 --> 05:37.579
multiple occasions where the shipping

05:37.589 --> 05:41.339
address listed on the pr is accurate .

05:42.179 --> 05:44.369
Something that causes obvious concern

05:44.380 --> 05:47.429
down range when items or services are

05:47.440 --> 05:49.496
being attempted to be performed by a

05:49.496 --> 05:52.700
vendor often causing modifications or

05:52.709 --> 05:55.929
increased cost to the government . So

05:55.940 --> 05:58.760
please ensure this part is filled

05:58.769 --> 06:00.936
incorrectly prior to submitting to the

06:00.936 --> 06:04.600
RCL . And lastly , I'd like to add that

06:04.609 --> 06:07.000
you please remove all red lettering

06:07.010 --> 06:09.399
prior to submitting the market research

06:09.410 --> 06:12.299
report . No red lettering should be

06:12.309 --> 06:15.029
present in the document when attaching

06:15.040 --> 06:18.899
the MRR as part of the PR package and D

06:18.910 --> 06:21.809
I . This helps the reader of the

06:21.820 --> 06:23.549
document to identify relevant

06:23.559 --> 06:26.350
information without questioning if some

06:26.359 --> 06:28.760
information is intentional or not .

06:29.980 --> 06:32.390
Well , folks , this concludes the video

06:32.399 --> 06:35.390
series on how to efficiently fill in

06:35.399 --> 06:37.630
the market research report template .

06:37.679 --> 06:38.869
Thank you for watching .
