Two (2) Keysight Semiconductor Device Characterization Systems

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – APG Adelphi Division is seeking to procure two Keysight Semiconductor Device Characterization Systems under a sole-source acquisition authorized by FAR 6.103-1, as the required equipment is exclusively available from Keysight Technologies Inc. and meets specific technical criteria that no other vendor can satisfy. The systems, comprising two B1500A mainframes and associated components including eight B1511B Mid Power Source Monitor Units and various add-on modules, are designated for delivery to U.S. Army Research Laboratory facilities in Adelphi, Maryland and Austin, Texas. The acquisition follows FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial items, eliminating the need for competitive bidding and formal evaluation factors such as LPTA or trade-off analysis, with the award based solely on compliance with technical specifications and delivery terms. The presolicitation was issued on April 28, 2026, with a response deadline of May 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, and responses must be submitted via email to Benjamin Krein at benjamin.l.krein.civ@army.mil; inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Joseph M. Dellinger. No set-aside provisions apply, and the NAICS code assigned is 334515 for Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing. Delivery is expected by May 29, 2026, with no FOB terms, payment office details, or invoicing instructions specified in the notice. The procurement does not require security clearances, key personnel designations, options, or organizational conflict of interest mitigations, and no formal contract clauses, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or pricing data are included, as this is a presolicitation document intended to announce intent and gather market interest prior to final negotiation.
