This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The procurement is for a Rohde & Schwarz FPL1007 Spectrum Analyzer, located in Columbia, MD, with a CAGE code of 82199. The specific requirement is for a spectrum analyzer to be used in certified test sets at Crane and external vendor facilities, with base unit options FPL-10 and CAL-ACC to provide calibration on delivery.

The document details why only one source (Rohde & Schwarz) will be solicited, citing potential end of support for current spectrum analyzers and the need to thoroughly test new option software. The procurement is being pursued as a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.106 provisions, with the contracting officer determining that the circumstances justify limiting the solicitation to a single vendor. The delivery is planned within FY25, and the spectrum analyzers will be used until their end of life. The document includes technical/requirements certifications and approvals from contracting personnel, with a certification date of 03/05/2025.
