5. Authority Cited:

Brand Name FAR 8.405-6(b)(1) Brand Name shall not be used unless the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs.

6. Reason for Authority Cited: Mission required is needed for the Model 33622A Waveform Generators, with options 33622A-OCX, and 33622A-GPB for use in the Internal Calibration Laboratory within the Army Primary Standards Laboratory, USATA. The 33622A Waveform Generators are to replace obsolesced 33250A Function / ArbitraryWaveform Generator and are compliant with other proprietary devices, methods, and existing calibration software.

7. Description of the market research and results: Market research was conducted by USATA technicians May 03, 2024 – May 17, 2024, IAW FAR 10.001. The following techniques were used:

Contact with knowledgeable person in Government or industry:

Minh Hoang; Engineer, TMDE Support Center: APSL Brandon May; Lead Engineer, TMDE Support Center: APSL

Issued formal requests for information, sources sought synopses, draft statements of work and solicitations in appropriate technical or scientific journals, business publications, and/or in Beta.Sam.gov:

A sources sought synopses was posted by the ACC-RSA on behalf of USATA on May 03, 2024 – May 17, 2024 under the PCF Cabinet number for multiple business days and multiple vendors (see paragraph 6) have reached out to inquire about providing this equipment.

Used Internet tools and perform Web searches: Went to Small Business Dynamic Search website that was conducted to see if any small businesses could match the criteria. Using the NAICS code 334515 and we found over 2,240 vendors that matched that NAICS code (334515). To narrow the search, we utilized “33622A Waveform Generator” as a keyword and found zero vendors that match the criteria.

Discuss the review of Government or commercial databases: USATA Technicians and Engineers discussed potential procurement of the “33622A” Waveform Generator with vendors (paragraph 6) via internet and phone conversations during March to April 2024.
