N0016426Q0045 NON-COMP_Redacted.pdf

This is a Memorandum to the File documenting the use of other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition below the simplified acquisition threshold.

The acquisition is for Narda/MITEQ, located in Hauppauge, New York, to provide a P/N 561R892H02 Image Rejection Mixer repair and RFI assets to the fleet. The requirement includes CLIN 0001 for part number 561R892H02 Image Rejection Mixer in a quantity of 20 units, with a total estimated cost redacted and a required delivery date of 12/31/2026. The contracting officer determined that only one responsible source exists, invoking the "Only One Responsible Source" justification under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The specific rationale is that Narda/MITEQ is the sole source proprietor of the drawings and specifications of the Limiter, and using another source would require extensive engineering design, drawing development, and legal restrictions that would make the parts cost-prohibitive to pursue. The memorandum notes that no other vendor can provide the same form, fit, and function needed for fleet readiness, and development efforts would take approximately a redacted timeframe and cost the government a minimum redacted amount to validate and qualify for use in tactical jamming aircraft. The CAGE code is 94S46, and the Contracting Officer Morgan Helton approved this acquisition on 12/04/2025.
