The justification establishes Keysight Technologies as the only capable supplier since they are the original developer of the proprietary software with no authorized third-party distributors. The contract was awarded under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for single source solicitation. The justification includes certification from Contracting Officer Michael Hallock that pricing is fair and reasonable based on previous contracts.
