About this file
This document is a Justification for Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition for an acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The document pertains to an ATT0161 PSG Analog Signal Generator Model E8257D (Serial Number MY60021031) needed by FCS & SPY teams for Fire Control System data measurements during Aegis Testing. Keysight Technologies is identified as the only repair facility for the equipment, with the item being critical for testing schedules met by August 2025.
The justification cites two primary reasons for sole source procurement: restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements. Specifically, Keysight Technologies is noted as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only authorized repair facility for their products. The document includes technical certification by Michael J Guevara on 7/15/25 and contracting officer certification by Jennifer Perazone on 7/16/25, supporting the sole source procurement approach under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines.

3. OTHER REASONS
Other reason not identified above. Provide details on mission impact if requirement is not solicited from only one source.
B. BRAND NAME
Item required must be a brand name, product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer.
Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company. Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements and why a "brand name or equal" purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.104). Describe how market research indicates other companies' similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency's needs.
C. _URGENT AND COMPELLING. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:
1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:
2. Required delivery date/period of performance:
3. Explanation of why delivery/commencement of services by the date mentioned above is required.
Explain the impact to the mission if the date above is not met, any special circumstances or conditions that exist which validate the requirement as "urgent, " estimated production lead time for the item, etc.
4. If appropriate, include any additional pertinent information.
IV. CERTIFICATIONS
A. Technical / Requirements Certification. I certify that the facts and representation under my cognizance which are included in this justification are complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief.
