This is a Memorandum to the File (ARP 53.13-1, August 2021) documenting the justification for a single-source acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition is for AMETEK Programmable Power, located in San Diego, California (CAGE 25965). The procurement justifies limiting competition to one source based on brand name requirements. The selected justification category is "B. Brand Name," indicating that the item required must be a brand name product or feature particular to one manufacturer. The memorandum notes that the equipment is manufactured by AMETEK VTI Instruments and is used in specific applications where substitute equipment would not meet performance requirements. The justification emphasizes that alternative manufacturers' equipment would not provide equivalent functionality or compatibility for the stated application.

The memorandum was technically certified by Richard Thompson on 05/01/2026 and approved by Contracting Officer Amy Haworth on 05/07/2026. The total dollar value of the acquisition is redacted in the document. The procurement complies with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) for purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold and FAR 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), which permits single-source solicitation when circumstances determine only one source is reasonably available.
