About this file
This is a Memorandum to the File documenting a decision to restrict competition for a commercial acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) in accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a).
The acquisition is for a ScanWave PRO Kit from PrimeNano, ILC (CAGE Code 5YXC0), located in Santa Clara, CA. The kit includes sMIM electronics and digital controller, control software, power supply unit, probe interface module optimized for standard probes, cable kit starter probe pack with 10 PrimeNano shielded SPM probes, and a power source (110V/60Hz or 220V/50Hz optional). The requirement also includes installation training from Gen5 Probe Short (box of 10) through ScanWave Pro Solutions' first-year package, which encompasses annual subscription, reference sample and mount, temperature control unit, Bruker Icon Sid Config enclosure, and NanoScope version 9.70 Build R1Sr8.167218 and later NanoScript Option with Windows 10 controller versions (NSV, NS5, or NS6) and RDD 30 DAC. The document certifies that only one source is reasonably available as the sole responsible source based on exclusive licensing agreements, as PrimeNano is the OEM of the ScanWave kit originally purchased on contract and is the only authorized vendor to remove and replace the kit on the government-owned microscope. The acquisition is justified under the "Only One Responsible Source" and "Exclusive Licensing Agreements" rationales, with an additional determination that this is a direct replacement part for specialized equipment with proprietary components that cannot be performed by outside entities without risk of irreversible damage. Contracting Officer Morgan Helton approved the sole-source justification on 06/29/2026.
