CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
CONTRACTING OFFICER'S
DETFRNCNATION AND FINDINGS
AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE CONTRACT
The Central Intelligence Agency proposes to enter into a
contract with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California
for services in the ZI and overseas of contractor personnel for
maintenance of the U-2 airplanes.
I hereby find that this rocurement, Project
is estimated to cost Ifor the period 1 July 1957 through
30 June 1958 chargeable during Fiscal Year 1958 to "No Year" funds
transferred to Project AQUATONE by Department of the Air Force. I
also find that this procurement is in the interest of National
Defense and that it will be certified by the Director of Central
Intelligence in accordance with the procedure of 15 December 1956
to be for objects of a confidential, extraordinary and emergency
nature and therefore is within the purview of the procurement
authority of the Agency as stated in Section 10(b) of Public Law
110, 81st Congress. Procurement by formal advertising of the
services called for by Contract No. SC-58 would result in public
disclosure of the nature and character of the equipment being
serviced by the technicians and would thereby jeopardize the
security classification of this project.
I hereby determine as Contracting Officer for this contract,
that the necessity and authority for negotiation of this contract
have been properly documented by proper Agency authority, and
that the proposed contract must necessarily be negotiated without
formal advertising.
