About this file
This single source justification memorandum requests approval to acquire instrument repair services solely from Teradyne for test equipment used by the 556th Software Engineering Squadron. The memorandum identifies that Teradyne is the original equipment manufacturer of three instruments and has authorization to service all instruments required under the Versatile Diagnostic Automatic Test Station technical order. As the sole company able to satisfy repair needs due to proprietary rights and service partnerships, Teradyne is deemed the only reasonably available source to meet requirements for the warfighter mission. The related solicitation seeks offers for the VDATS instrument repair services to be provided by Teradyne.
