MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE

Subj: DETERMINATION THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY

AVAILABLE FOR A FAR PART 12 ACQUISITION COMMERICAL PRODUCTS AND

COMMERCIAL SERVICES

I. BACKGROUND:

1. As required by FAR 12.102(a) this memorandum documents the determination that, for this acquisition valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), only one source is reasonably available. This memorandum further outlines the basis supporting that determination.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ITEM OR SERVICE:

Marine Depot Maintenance Command (MDMC) is requesting the procurement of the Keysight N7800A Calibration and Adjustment Software in order for the instrument to run efficiently and effectively.

III. THE DETERMINATION FOR USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING (select all that apply):

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

The item or service is only available from the Original Equipment Manufacturer

(OEM), or there is only one authorized distributor or technical representative for the OEM.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. was verified to be the sole-source provider for the item and software being requested via email on 4/2/2026.

The purchase of the Keysight Calibration L8icense is urgently required to restore the calibration capability at the USMC 29 palms Calibration lab, which has been non-operational due to the inability to process the MCTSP N8787A power Sensor pending the required software license. The single power sensor serves as the primary calibration standard for multiple lines of test equipment supporting communication systems. Additional delays will continue to increase the provided backlog of workorders which will affect mission readiness and operational support.
