The USNA ECE requires quantity 12 of the LeCroy WaveSurfer 4104HD Oscilloscopes. Required three months after contract award and NLT 30 September 2024.

In conclusion, the requested supplies or services represent the minimum requirements of the government.

Describe in detail why only this source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

(what specific characteristics of the supplies or services limit the availability to a sole source (e.g., unique features, function of the item, etc.)?)

☒ The supplies or services must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit and function) with existing systems presently installed/performing. Describe the equipment/function you have now and how the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system.

The United States Naval Academy(USNA) requires twelve oscilloscopes that must be integrated directly with laboratory activities in the USNA ECE communications courses. The primary communications course (EE354) has been using the LeCroy 104MXS Oscilloscope (manufactured in 2007) for lab assignments. The students, support staff, and faculty are familiar with the LeCroy interface. Upgrading to the LeCroy WaveSurfer 4104HD shall provide enhanced functionality with a familiar interface. The LeCroy WaveSurfer 4104HD must also be compatible with current lab instructions and require only minimal changes to the lab assignment instructions. A change in brand would require more extensive changes to the lab assignments. The oscilloscopes must come from an authorized reseller of Teledyne LeCroy.

☐ A patent, copyright or proprietary data limits competition.
