The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirement for calibration and repair services of Keysight test equipment for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The contractor is responsible for both on-site and return-to-contractor calibration adhering to OEM standards and NIST traceability, with specific responsibilities including scheduling, costs, and documentation submission. Repair services must meet OEM specifications and follow a structured assessment and repair process. The contractor must maintain a Quality Control Plan to ensure safety and compliance with established performance thresholds, along with timely reporting of any damages or injuries. Security requirements include access protocols for contractor employees and adherence to operational security (OPSEC) guidelines during contract performance. Additionally, the PWS outlines government responsibilities, ensuring all equipment and materials for repair are supplied by the contractor, while emphasizing the need for proper disposal of defective components. This document serves to define the performance expectations for the contractor within the framework of U.S. government contracts, emphasizing quality, safety, and compliance with government standards.

This document outlines the justification for selecting Keysight Technologies, Inc. as the sole source vendor for the calibration and repair of specified equipment. Keysight, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), has a history of satisfactory service and is confirmed to be the only company capable of meeting the required services. A detailed market research process included outreach and posting a Sources Sought notice, which yielded minimal responses, none of which could fulfill the calibration needs. Both Tektronix and I-2-I were unable to provide comprehensive services, solidifying Keysight's position as the sole appropriate vendor. The document notes that no small business opportunities are available, and similar services are not offered through GSA or AbilityOne. The Requiring Activity and Contracting Office will continue to monitor the market for potential new vendors. Overall, Keysight Technologies is determined to be the only responsible and capable vendor to address the Government's equipment servicing needs without barriers to competition.
