About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification document for a federal contract procurement by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), an office under the Secretary of Defense.
DMEA seeks to procure a Keysight N5222B-219 Vector Network Analyzer (2-Port, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz) with a Configurable Test Set, Reference Mixer Switch, Source and Receiver Attenuators, and Bias Tees. This commercial high-frequency electronic test instrument is used to measure and analyze the electrical performance of radio frequency and microwave components such as antennas, cables, and amplifiers for Technical Data Package (TDP) projects. The justification for sole source procurement is based on DMEA's requirement for the specific Keysight XN7-class configuration and the necessity to source directly from the manufacturer to ensure unmodified firmware due to the sensitive nature of the projects. Market research confirmed that no other vendor provides this specific equipment configuration. The procurement is authorized under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and 41 U.S.C. 1901. The contracting officer, Michael Hallock, has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on previously awarded contracts. The justification will be posted on NASA SEWP in accordance with FAR requirements, and ongoing market research will continue to identify alternative vendors. The sole source supplier is Keysight Technologies Inc., located at 1900 Garden of The Gods Road, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907-3423.

Defense Microelectronics Activity 4234 54th Street, McClellan, CA 95652
SOW/PWS # 25-5C3
Sole Source Justification
1. Agency and Contracting Activity: Office of Secretary of Defense, Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA).
2. Nature/Description of Action: The purpose of this procurement is to acquire a Keysight Network Analyzer.
3. Description of Supplies/Services: The tool to be acquired is a commercial high-frequency electronic test instrument known as a Vector Network Analyzer. This specialized laboratory equipment is used by engineers and technicians to measure, test, and analyze the electrical performance of radio frequency and microwave components (such as antennas, cables, and amplifiers).
4. Authority Cited:
FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) Soliciting from a single source; 41 U.S.C. 1901.
5. Reason for Authority Cited: According to DMEA’s network analyzer subject matter expert, DMEA/MEBC’s needs in characterizing electronic components for Technical Data Package (TDP) projects require the listed configuration only available through Keysight’s XN7-class vector network analyzers. Due to the sensitive nature of our projects, we must ensure that the firmware will be unmodified by third-party vendors, so we seek to source this tool directly from the manufacturer.
6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: This approved justification, will be posted on NASA SEWP in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(3) publication requirement.
7. Fair and Reasonable Cost Determination: I hereby determine that the anticipated cost to the Government for this contract action will be fair and reasonable. This determination is based upon previously awarded contracts.
8. Market Research: While general network analyzers are commercially available, market research concluded that no other vendor provides a Keysight N5222B-219 Vector Network Analyzer (2-Port 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz PNA Network Analyzer with Configurable Test Set, Reference Mixer Switch, Source and Receiver Attenuators, and Bias Tees).
9. Other Facts: N/A
10. Listing of Sources: N/A
KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES INC
1900 Garden Of The Gods RD Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907-3423
DMEA # 26-32
11. Actions to Increase Competition: Market research will continue to be conducted to identify if any other vendors possess the capability to meet DMEA’s requirement for Keysight Network Analyzers
12. Contracting Officer Certification: I certify that this justification is accurate and complete to the best of the contracting officer’s knowledge and belief.
