    The NSWCCD memorandum justifies a sole source acquisition for a Rohde & Schwarz Signal and Spectrum Analyzer under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), allowing Contracting Officers to solicit from a single source when deemed necessary. The analysis identifies that only the Rohde & Schwarz model meets specific requirements, such as a frequency range of 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz and various features necessary for testing the SARTS IV onboard tracking system. Market research revealed that while three brands were considered, the Rohde & Schwarz model excelled in portability, upgradability, and resolution. The necessity for competitively soliciting this brand stems from proprietary rights and exclusive licensing agreements with the manufacturer, which limits availability to authorized distributors. The document outlines the technical specifications required for the analyzer and associated accessories, affirming the need for the brand name product. It concludes with the necessary certifications and approvals per FAR regulations for justification of this procurement method, underlining a commitment to meeting mission requirements effectively while adhering to federal acquisition regulations.
