Examples of acceptable justifications include but are not limited to: sole manufacturer and seller, adherence to warranty provisions, urgency, etc. If other vendors can provide similar products or services, describe why they cannot meet our particular requirement.

We have conducted a thorough search for such licensing/equipment, and results have shown that Keysight is the sole manufacturer and seller of the already acquired laboratory instrument and the licensing to unlock the needed features within the instrument.
