This is a Determination and Findings (D&F) document authorizing a single source acquisition for the Air Force Technical Center (AFTC/PZZF).

The acquisition is for one Keysight FieldFox N9912C brand-name portable RF test-and-measurement system, including a configured handheld analyzer, USB power sensors, antennas, and accessories. The justification for sole source procurement is based on RFO 11.204(a)(2)(ii) (Brand Name), as the particular brand and configuration are essential to the Government's requirements. The Government requires this specific commercial, portable RF test-and-measurement system to support flightline troubleshooting and Time Domain (TDY) operations for multiple ACAT-1 bomber modernization programs, with the capability necessary to mitigate mission delays caused by limited availability of primary test equipment. Market research identified only Keysight Technologies as capable of providing the N9912C configuration with the required specifications, including cable-and-antenna analysis, vector-network analysis, spectrum analysis, time-domain measurements, USB power-sensor support, TDR cable measurements, tracking-generator capability, real-time spectrum analysis, electromagnetic field measurements, electromagnetic interference measurements, and 40 MHz bandwidth capability. The requirement will be set aside as 100% SDVOSB small business setaside, with Keysight Technologies identified as the OEM and Technical Communities, Inc. and TEVET LLC, Tra-Cal identified as potential small business sources available to bid. The Contracting Officer, Wendell Brown NH-III, approved the determination under DAF Approval Authorities Matrix PM 26-C-11 Matrix Item 51.
