Brand Name Specification:

Tektronix, Inc. and Keysight Technologies test equipment is required to maintain interoperability with the prime contractor’s current equipment because it includes critical data transfer capability. The 18 pieces of test equipment and attachments identified herein are identical to those being utilized by the prime contractor supporting the varied program elements.

The test equipment is used in the prototype testing of new ship equipment design and replacement. The equipment is currently needed for testing the new cable replacement for utilizing the new TR302D transducers. We need to test signal path performances due to new cable lengths and gauges. In addition to field and lab work the units will also be utilized in the Depot repair activities within the department.

All test equipment and associated accessories must be able to transfer data and test results to the prime contractor's current existing equipment. Data transfer is required to verify reproducibility of test results. Equipment lacking this capability will create significant inefficiencies and costs through duplicated efforts to verify and reproduce test results. The transfer of data and test results is possible only through Tektronix and Keysight proprietary connections/interfaces. Test equipment without these proprietary connections/interfaces would result in an additional six months to test/verify a different brand name of test equipment approximately costing $200K and the cost to the government and contractor to transition to a different brand name would be approximately $255K delaying the program by approximately 9 months.

RESELLERS:

Vendor must be an authorized stocking distributor. The following small businesses are authorized Tektronix and Keysight Resellers.
