    The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) seeks to procure a Tektronix 50 GHz digital phosphor oscilloscope system through a brand name justification, as allowed under 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 13.5. This request for an exception to full and open competition is based on unique compatibility requirements with existing systems developed by the NRL's Tactical Electronic Warfare Division. The system's specific components include two oscilloscope units, an extended warranty, and synchronization cables, necessary for functionality within existing test environments. Market research reaffirmed that no alternative brand met the same specifications, as other equipment would necessitate costly software modifications and synchronize issues, estimated to incur an additional $240,000. Importantly, sales discussions indicate only one distributor, Technical Communities (TestMart), is authorized to provide this specialized equipment via GSA, further justifying the non-competitive procurement. This action aligns with the NRL's operational needs and budgetary allocations outlined in the FY25 Capital Investment Program, emphasizing the importance of maintaining system integrity and operational efficiency.
