About this file
This memorandum provides a brand name justification for the procurement of Keysight oscilloscopes. The Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base requires an oscilloscope to replace an outdated model no longer supported. Training personnel on an alternate brand would cost an estimated $63,600. Market research found multiple small businesses capable of providing the Keysight brand oscilloscope. As a result, the memorandum requests approval to procure Keysight equipment to meet requirements given the existing training and experience of personnel.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center seeking to award a contract for Keysight oscilloscopes.

27 July 2023 MEMORANDUM FOR AFSC/PZIM Contracting Officer
FROM: OC-ALC OBCA,
SUBJECT: Brand Name Justification for Keysight Oscilloscope
1. An oscilloscope is a device for viewing oscillations, as of electrical voltage or current, by a display on the screen.

SWEG personnel have determined that the item being requested is a suitable and recommended replacement for the discontinued item. In addition, SWEG personnel are already trained and are currently using this brand of oscilloscope in their daily tasks. The cost of training personnel on a different brand of oscilloscope would be an estimated $63,600.00.
