This effort will be conducted on a Brand Name Only basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

Companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide components that meet the Government's requirement as described herein may respond. If a response is submitted for something other than the Tektronix Model DPO7254 exactly as described herein, those responses shall address how the Government can offset cost duplication and the schedule delays that are anticipated to result if a new instrument is utilized. Responses shall include availability, budgetary cost estimate, the number of units available, and lead time of the solution. All interested parties may submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and/or other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary estimate of test articles, production units, production quantity breaks, an explanation as to why the Government should not procure this effort on a Brand Name Only basis as stated above.
