Discussion of source selection and evaluation techniques usually focus on selection of a single source to fulfill the government's weapon systems acquisition requirements. There are numerous instances when selection of multiple sources is an objective. The additional requirement to select multiple sources can greatly complicate the source selection process. Two major source selections conducted by the Naval Sea Systems Command for the Fast Logistic Ship SL-7 conversion (TAKRX) program and the Maritime Prepositioning Ship (TAKX) program illustrate techniques for selection of multiple sources in a highly complex situation. This paper discusses the significantly different procedures used in these two programs and identifies lessons learned. Selection of multiple sources requires considerable forethought to identify complicating factors and possible variations. Control of the number of variables is necessary to ensure a manageable process.
