N0016426Q0202 – SOLE SOURCE – KEYSIGHT COMPONENT REPAIR – FSG J059 – NAICS 334515

ISSUE DATE 01-JUL-2026 – CLOSING DATE 23-JUL-2026 – 11:00 PM Eastern Time

ITEM DESCRIPTION- Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane has a requirement for a Firm Fixed Priced, Commercial Service requirement in support of MK-99 and OE-120 to repair asset N5183B/ SG61252508 MXG X-Series Microwave Analog Signal Generator (MK-99), an evaluation of E8362B NETWORK ANALYZER (OE-120), and an option for repair for results of the evaluation of E8362B NETWORK ANALYZER (OE-120).

SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT- The proposed contract action is for the supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with one source only , Keysight Technologies, Inc. of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Cage Number 7ZXR5, under the authority of FAR 12.201-1 for Commercial services using simplified procedures. This is being solicited on a sole source only basis because Keysight retains exclusive proprietary rights to the specialized technical data, diagnostic software, engineering drawings, and internal schematics required to accurately calibrate, troubleshoot, and repair both the N5183B MXG Microwave Analog Signal Generator and the E8362B Vector Network Analyzer. The restriction of this acquisition to Keysight Technologies is further necessitated by the existence of exclusive proprietary licensing agreements and intellectual property rights over the diagnostic software, firmware, and calibration systems of the N5183B and E8362B assets. Keysight has not authorized or licensed any third-party commercial vendors to access, modify, or utilize their proprietary calibration software suites, internal source codes, or specialized firmware. Awarding this effort to any vendor other than Keysight Technologies would result in substantial, unrecoverable duplication of costs and unacceptable delays that would directly compromise the operational readiness of the MK-99 and OE-120 programs. To procurement repair and evaluation services from a third party vendor would cost the Government in excess of $100,000 and delay providing these instruments back to the warfighter by several months.  All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the agency. However, a determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
