This document is a Memorandum for the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It identifies K&L Microwave LLC (Cage: 50140) as the sole source for specific items.

This document is relevant to bidders as it explains why a particular acquisition is being conducted using a sole-source justification. It details the specific items being procured: P/N: 5IH40-3000/X19000-OP/O, MM Band Pass Filters (QTY 40 each) and Service - Screening MM Band Pass Filters (QTY 2 AU). The justification for sole-source procurement is based on K&L Microwave being the sole manufacturer and proprietor of the drawings and specifications, requiring significant engineering and testing to use another source, making it cost-prohibitive.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Memorandum for the File justifying the use of other than full and open competition for an acquisition under the simplified acquisition threshold. It identifies K&L Microwave LLC as the sole source vendor.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the opportunity is being restricted to a single source. It details the specific items being procured:

• CLIN 0001: P/N 61B40-00474, Bandpass Filter (QTY 50 each)
• CLIN 0002: Service, 107 THERMAL SHOCK MICO-IBS (QTY 1 AU)
• CLIN 0003: Service, 112 SEAL MICROMINIATURES-IBS (QTY 1 AU)

The justification for sole source is based on K&L Microwave being the sole manufacturer and proprietor of the required Micro-minature Band Pass Filter. Developing the item with another source would require extensive engineering, testing, and legal work, leading to prohibitive costs and significant delays (estimated 18 months). The parts are needed immediately to support EA-18G fleet readiness, with a required delivery date of 17 weeks ARO. Market research indicates long lead times for these parts, and K&L Microwave is identified as a reliable vendor with prompt turnaround times.
