- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate on a brand-name only basis, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(c), for the purchase of four (4) Keysight N9030B PXA signal analyzers. The brand-name justification is based on the following: A significant Investment has been made by the RSMS program in the software development for command and control of the Kaysight PXA signal analyzer series. This software can perform both autonomous and manual (operator-In-the-loop} acquisitions of spectrum data in both traditional spectrum analyzer mode and the more advances vector analysis mode. Furthermore, Keysight N9030 PXAs have proven to meet the strict performance requirements to perform advanced wireless studies. Procurement of a different brand of signal analyzer would require extensive engineering and development time, if it is even possible, to duplicate the existing functionality of our custom developed software suite. The effort to duplicate what already exists is estimated to require six man-months of engineering time at a significant cost. Given these facts, Keysight is the only brand reasonably available to provide the required product. The resulting purchase order will be a Firm Fixed Price purchase order. The NAICS Code is 334515 with a size standard of 750 employees. No solicitation package will be issued. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations; however, interested parties who regard themselves as capable of fulfilling these requirements are invited to submit responses to the Government for consideration. Responses received by 11:00 am EST August 19, 2017, will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government to limit the competition of the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice 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.
