About this file
This is a Brand Name Justification document for a federal contract opportunity issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division, located in Boulder, Colorado.
The requirement (NB672010-26-01539) specifies the procurement of Keysight Technologies Inc. brand power meters and associated components. NIST is acquiring these items for use in direct comparison calibration systems being developed in collaboration with the Navy Primary Standard Laboratory. The systems will be primarily used to calibrate Keysight Technologies Inc. manufactured equipment, necessitating compatibility with that brand's products. Additionally, NIST maintains existing direct-comparison calibration systems that include similar Keysight equipment, and the new systems must operate compatibly with existing infrastructure to enable future collaborative developments with the Navy Primary Standard Laboratory. The justification emphasizes that utilizing different or non-compatible components would impose significant time and monetary costs on NIST to replace currently operational systems. These acquisitions support critical research and measurement services in radio frequency and microwave power. The document is signed by Daniel Kent, Contracting Officer, and is marked as Draft status.

BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION
Requirement. NB672010-26-01539 - Power Meters and Components
This is a brand name justification for Keysight Technologies Inc. brand power meters and components. The required series of power meters and associated components will be utilized in direct comparison calibration systems that NIST is building for and in collaboration with the Navy Primary Standard Laboratory. These systems will primarily be used to calibrate equipment that is manufactured by Keysight Technologies Inc. and therefore the new systems must be compatible. Additionally, NIST maintains existing direct-comparison calibration systems which include similar Keysight Technologies Inc. manufactured equipment. The new systems must operate similarly to NIST’s existing systems to ensure future collaborative developments with the Navy Primary Standard Laboratory are possible.
These new systems are required for critical research and measurement services in radio frequency and microwave power. Utilizing different or non-compatible components would represent a significant time and monetary cost to NIST to replace existing systems currently in use.
Daniel Kent, Contracting Officer
