    2.3 SOLE SOURCE SAT MEMORANDUM (5091-3507)(ACS signed)_Redacted.pdf
    This memorandum addresses the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition that falls under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, specifically for the OEM repair and calibration of a Keysight Model 3.5MM ECAL Module. The contracting officer justifies soliciting only one source, Keysight, for this requirement due to their proprietary rights and the exclusive licensing agreements they hold as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The necessity of using OEM parts is emphasized, stating that alternative sources could compromise the integrity of shipyard equipment and potentially disrupt project timelines critical to Naval Fleet Forces. The document outlines that this sole-source acquisition is essential for operational safety and efficiency in microwave measuring equipment across several locations, underscoring the urgency of meeting the performance expectations. Overall, the memorandum supports the decision to limit competition in favor of ensuring the reliability and safety of government operations.
