Market research may indicate that bundling is necessary and justified if

the government would derive measurably substantial benefits it would reduce the number of vendors to one it would always save time it would ensure best value always

Correct Answer:

the government would derive measurably substantial benefits

Explanation:

Bundling should be justified only when market research shows measurably substantial benefits to the government. This means the decision to bundle is based on concrete evidence that consolidating requirements will create real value—such as lower life-cycle costs, reduced duplication, or better integration—rather than on guesswork. The emphasis is on substantial, demonstrable benefits rather than absolute guarantees. Reducing the number of vendors to one might be a consequence of bundling, but it isn’t the justification itself and can raise competition concerns. Likewise, assuming time savings will always occur or promising best value in every situation are not proper grounds for bundling; the justification must show substantial benefits, not guarantees.
