XI.  A STATEMENT OF THE ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE AGENCY MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE MAKING SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITIONS FOR THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED

Describe any actions taken or to be taken to foster competition for future acquisitions of the supplies or services being acquired.  Describe potential actions that could be undertaken to remove the barriers to competition that have been identified in the justification and include a milestone schedule for accomplishing these actions.  For example, if a follow-on competitive acquisition is planned, so state and give planned award date, (See FAR 6.303-2(a)(11)), or state the Government will attempt to acquire rights in technical data and computer software sufficient to compete follow-on acquisitions as a priced option in the contract action that is the subject of this J&A, or (if applicable) state how the Government intends to challenge nonconforming markings on technical data and computer software delivered to it under previous contracts so those markings can be removed in order that that technical data and computer software may be used in support of a follow-on competitive acquisition, or describe plans to qualify additional sources.  

Address efforts to ensure competition for future spare parts and maintenance in support of systems or equipment covered by the justification, even when these acquisitions will be accomplished by other organizations. Include a discussion on available breakout data.  

If no actions are planned, so state and provide reasons. If approval is sought for more than one year, explain why a sole source effort is required for the planned time duration.
