About this file

This is a Determination and Findings (D&F) form for a sole source acquisition under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for purchases exceeding $15,000 but not exceeding $350,000.

The ITF (Information Technology Facility) seeks to procure a Fluke Versiv2 NW network testing kit, specifically the copper and fiber analysis kit, to be used in conjunction with their currently owned Versiv2 NW platform for testing, analyzing, and certifying local network connections. The equipment must comply with ANSI/TIA-1152-A Level 2G and proposed standard IEC 61935-1 Ed. 5 Level VI field tester accuracy requirements to 2000 MHz, support Resistance Unbalance standards for Power over Ethernet (PoE) including IEEE 802.3bt and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 compliance, provide TCL and EL TCTL measurements compliant to IEC 61935-1-1, and include screen continuity testing along the cabling path. The contracting officer justifies the sole source determination based on the proprietary nature of the Fluke Versiv2 NW platform and the need to maintain interoperability with existing systems. While any Fluke authorized distributor may be utilized, no alternative kit is available at the required price point or level of completeness to meet the ITF's specifications. The government intends to address future competition by sourcing multiple vendors for Fluke brand test equipment when new acquisitions are required.
