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 (or portion of the requirement to be sole-sourced) is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.

Mensor CPC6050 Modular Presure Controller. This controller acts as a pressure calibration standard capable of testing presure guages found within the range of -15 to 1515 psig.
