This is a Memorandum to the File (ARP 53.13-1) documenting the justification for using other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition.

The acquisition is for repair of test equipment to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. Three units require repair: an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (PN: AWG5012, SN: B010163) that will not address GPIB lines; an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (PN: AWG5012C, SN: B050982) with inoperable Channel 2; and a Logic Analyzer (PN: TLA7016, SN: B010342) experiencing communication failure. All items are assigned RMA# 2458098. The vendor is Tektronix Inc, located in Beaverton, OR (CAGE: 80009). The required delivery date is 09/30/2026.

The determination to use single-source procurement is based on restrictive rights and exclusive licensing agreements. Tektronix is the OEM that designed, built, and produced the test equipment and possesses all proprietary data, specialized technical capability, and necessary information required to complete the repairs. The memorandum establishes that no other vendor has rights to the proprietary data or equipment specifications, and that reverse engineering would require over two years and significant cost with no guarantee of success. The Contracting Officer, Helton Morgan Michelle Junalee, approved this non-competitive procurement on April 1, 2026.
