This document is a Memorandum to the File for a Determination of Single Source Procurement for a specific federal acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. The procurement is for two Viavi TB5800-Family 3 configurators, which are hardware testing devices used for diagnosing and testing optical and electrical circuits across various physical mediums. The specific configuration is a Viavi T-Berd MTS-5800 Platform configurator, with a required delivery date of 31 Apr 2025.

The memorandum justifies sole-source procurement based on two key criteria: brand name requirement and exclusive licensing agreements. The system has proprietary hardware and embedded software that requires service specifically by Viavi Solutions Inc. or an authorized partner. The brand name requirement ensures that unit software and hardware modifications remain compatible with the existing equipment and do not void manufacturer warranties or technical support. The procurement is being conducted by the Marine Corps Telecommunications at Camp Lejeune, NC, and is intended to upgrade 100GB Viavi testers to be backward compatible with lower-speed optical and electrical circuits for testing, installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting functionality.
