JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH SRI INTERNATIONAL
CIA-STARGATE
PDF Scan: PDF
Open AI Summary
Summary:
This document is a justification for awarding a sole-source procurement contract to SRI International for the CIA's Stargate program. SRI International is considered uniquely qualified due to their experience and performance on previous government contracts in a related area. They have the necessary technical competence and expertise in the specific area of human capabilities evaluation required for the program. The document states that SRI's previous work on electromagnetic reaction aspects of remote viewing has formed a valuable database for the new work, which aims to establish the existence of a reproducible phenomenon and investigate the biochemical and enzymatic reactions involved. It is emphasized that shifting to a new research team would delay progress and hinder the application of research techniques to urgent operational requirements. The work conducted by SRI has significant implications for national security.

JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT (U)
with
SRI INTERNATIONAL
333 Ravenswook Avenue
Manlo Park, CA 94025
1. (S) SRI International is uniquely qualified for this sole source procure-
ment by nature of a combination of experience and performance on previous
government contracts in a related area. They have a high degree of technical
carrpetence and are the only known source qualified to furnish the government
needs in this specific area of human capabilities evaluation. This effort
requires a multidisciplinary effort involving physicists, biophysicists, and
psychologists. The basic research core team at SRI has internationally
recognized experts in the technical disciplines required for this work, and,
in addition, the core team can readily access a broad range of support skills
available elsewhere at SRI International.
2. (S) This effort builds on investigations previously sponsored by another
government agency; however, biomedical sciences aspects of the subject will
now be emphasized. The primary objective is to establish, without a shadow of
a doubt, that a reproducible phenomenon exists. A related longer range objec-
tive is to define the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. All previous
work has focused on the center nervous system as a system influenceable by
electromagnetic emanations. Now, for the first time, biochemical and
enzymatic intracellular reactions will be examined as well. SRI's previous
work on the electromagnetic reaction aspects of remote viewing forms a highly
meaningful data base for this new work. It is imperative that the momentum
achieved in the immediate past research not be cc pranised by shifting from an
established and highly experienced research team to a new team not now
-acutally credentialled. Reliance on a new team for a continuation of this
investigation would positively delay the achievement of stated objectives and
would destroy the much needed opportunity to apply, right now, on a continuing
basis research techniques in remote viewing to urgent operational require-
ments. For a new contractor to achieve SRI's present level of expertise, if
he could be found, would require at least three to five years. Such a time
lag is totally unacceptable. Findings and achievements from this work have
significant implications for national security.
