This is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) for the sole source procurement of a Keysight Technologies network analyzer under simplified acquisition procedures. The procurement is for a four-port network analyzer that combines integrated hardware and advanced software for measurement accuracy and speed in active device characterization and EW systems evaluations, with required delivery by January 31, 2025.

The justification establishes that Keysight Technologies is the only known provider that meets the technical requirements, which include a 4-port, dual-source configuration with frequency range of 900Hz to 50GHz, gain compression and intermodulation distortion measurements capabilities, and compatibility with existing NRL systems. Market research identified two authorized Keysight resellers, and a 14-day notice was posted on SAM.gov seeking additional sources, but no alternate proposals were received. The procurement will be conducted as a brand name only acquisition under 41 U.S.C. 1901, with pricing to be determined as fair and reasonable based on commercial pricing and historical government purchases. A small business set-aside was not appropriate due to the Non-Manufacturer Rule requirements for NAICS 334515.
