ARP 53.13-1

Aug 2021

[eFile A04 08]

1. FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) states for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization).

2. As required by FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), this memorandum explains the absence of competition for this acquisition, as only one source will be solicited for this requirement (or for a portion of the requirement) and the requirement is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select applicable area below to open specific form)

A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE

B. BRAND NAME

C. UNUSUAL AND COMPELLING URGENCY

A. ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE (select all that apply):

1. RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The source has established proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes in the item or service required.

2. EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. The item or service is only available from the OriginalEquipment Manufacturer (OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

KEYSIGHT has the expertise and parts to repair and align the unit back to its original required specifications.

3. OTHER REASONS. Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.

B. BRAND NAME. Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.

KEYSIGHT is the OEM for this unit. KEYSIGHT designed, built and produced the test equipment. Another firm cannot obtain the necessary highly specialized experience or technical capability in time to perform the repair requirement. From its initial delivery the unit was determined to be an OEM repair due to the complexity and knowledge required to do the repairs. The navy did not buy the drawings or the required alignment procedures to allow us or anyone else to do the required repairs and bring the units back to the required operational specifications. The government did not procure or does not possess the proprietary data. KEYSIGHT has all of the necessary information and applicable data to complete the repair. No other vendor has rights to any of the proprietary data or the necessary equipment, data, and test procedures.
