About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for a brand name purchase of a Keysight Technologies N9913A FieldFox 4 GHz RF Analyzer. The Contracting Officer conducted market research and determined that Keysight Technologies is the only reasonably available source, as the overall quality and functionality of their testers cannot be compared to other available products.
The associated federal contract opportunity is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for a firm-fixed-price contract to procure the Keysight Technologies FieldFox RF Analyzer. The solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 334515, with a size standard of 750 employees. Offers are due by April 29, 2024, and the Government intends to award a single contract to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror. Pricing must include equipment and shipping. Offerors must demonstrate their technical capability to meet the Government's requirements.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition
The Contracting Officer has found out that there are other companies in the industry that provide similar equipment, but the overall quality level cannot be compared to the one of Keysight and the testers do not allow for adds on and modular build of the tester.
The Contracting Officer posted 2 Requests for Information looking for similar and equivalent equipment. One in GSAEBuy! on 12 April 2024 and the other on sam.gov on 16 Apr 2024. The GSA RFI received 1 answer from the one GSA vendor who can provide Keysight through a Federal Supply Schedule. The RFI in sam.gov has received 2 answers.
Market research has shown that there are at least 4 small businesses able to fulfill this requirement.
The Contracting Officer is expecting to received 2 or more quotes from small businesses who are official distributors of Keysight Technologies.
Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards
Homestead ARB will continue conducting market survey to determine potential future sources able to satisfy a similar requirement. The testing industry is always improving and developing new technologies therefore changes will be expected and monitored.
Section F: Contracting Officer's Determination
I have determined, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source is reasonably available.
