The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the non-personnel services contract for Keysight Technologies to provide repair and calibration of E4448A PSA Spectrum Analyzers at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's Calibration Lab. The contractor is responsible for supplying personnel and resources to ensure Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) meets original equipment manufacturer specifications. The period of performance is set from March 3, 2025, to April 30, 2025. The contractor must not subcontract calibration services without explicit approval and is required to ensure quality control and assurance are maintained throughout the process. The contract mandates the provision of calibration certificates upon completion, with the government retaining ownership rights to any documents produced during this work. Physical security measures must be adhered to as all work takes place at the contractor's facility, while communications with the Government will be managed through the designated Contracting Officer Representative. This contract highlights the Government's focus on maintaining high standards of equipment performance and regulatory compliance within military operations.

This memorandum outlines the rationale for using other than full and open competition for an acquisition regarding the repair and calibration of the Keysight Model E4448A PSA Spectrum Analyzer. According to FAR 13.106-1, the Contracting Officer has determined that only one source, Keysight, is available due to proprietary rights and exclusive licensing agreements. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Keysight, is essential for providing replacement parts that meet specific engineering and material standards necessary for proper functionality and safety of the equipment. The importance of this calibration service is underscored by its role in supporting the U.S. Naval Fleet Forces, particularly in locations such as San Diego, Everett, and Japan. The request is justified based on the need for OEM services to avoid operational disruptions and ensure personnel safety, particularly as the equipment is critical for electronic and microwave measuring. This acquisition is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and has been certified for accuracy by involved parties.
