This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a sole-source acquisition justification for a simplified acquisition threshold procurement.

The acquisition is for Narda/MITEQ, located in Hauppauge, New York (CAGE 94S46), to supply part number AMFK-2F-00240027-065-7P-BT-L Limiters in the quantity of 20 units. The required delivery date is October 30, 2026. The total dollar value is redacted. The contracting officer, Morgan Helton, approved this procurement on March 5, 2026.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on "Only One Responsible Source" under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). The primary rationale centers on restrictive rights: Narda/MITEQ is the sole source proprietor of the drawings and specifications for these limiters, which are required for Prime Mission Equipment (PME) support. The memorandum notes that utilizing an alternative source would require extensive engineering redesign, first article testing, and qualification processes. The parts support critical depot repair operations with time-sensitive backlogs, and market research indicates a long lead time. Developing alternative sources would incur substantial additional costs for validation and qualification testing. The document certifies that the facts presented are complete and accurate to the best of the certifying official's knowledge.
