- MARKET RESEARCH: Better Documentation Needed to Inform Future Procurements at Selected Agencies, GAO-15-8: Published: Oct 9, 2014. Publicly Released: Oct 9, 2014: “Market research guidance at the Departments of Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is consistent with federal regulations in terms of market research objectives and builds on the techniques for communicating with industry outlined in federal regulations. All four agencies require that market research be clearly documented and note that documentation can inform current and future procurements. GAO found, however, that the agencies’ guidance varied on the specificity of market research documentation. For example, DOD, DHS, and FAA guidance identify specific market research elements to be documented. Based on analysis of these market research elements, GAO identified four elements which, if recorded, would provide an understanding of the research completed. These elements include the market research methods used, when it was conducted, an analysis of vendor capabilities, and a conclusion. DOT’s market research guidance did not require specific elements to be documented, which increases the risk that it would not be available to inform future procurements.”
