THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN FAR SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. THE PROPOSED PROCUREMENT IS FOR AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES USB POWER SENSORS. REQUESTED ITEMS ARE UNIQUE TO THE MANUFACTURER AND IS IN SUPPORT OF THE DEFENSE INFORMATION SCHOOL. PREVIOUS TRAINING BLOCKS USE HP/AGILENT DEVICES FOR SPECTRUM MEASUREMENTS, AND THESE BLOCKS SET THE FOUNDATION FOR THE FIELD TRAINING EXERCISE (FTX) AT THE END OF THE COURSE. SWITCHING TO ANOTHER MANUFACTURER WOULD CREATE A NEED TO FAMILIARIZE WITH THAT DEVICE BEFORE PRACTICAL EXERCISES (GRADED EXERCISES) COULD TAKE PLACE. BECAUSE TIME IS LIMITED IN THESE COURSES, ANY ADDITIONAL TRAINING REQUIRES CUTTING TRAINING SOMEWHERE ELSE TO COMPENSATE, AND WOULD CHANGE THE LESSON PLANS FOR THIS BLOCK. IN MOST CASES, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THESE STUDENTS HAVE USED A SPECTRUM ANALYZER, SO CONTINUITY BETWEEN CLASSROOM AND THE FTX IS IMPORTANT. PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES ARE THOSE IN EFFECT THROUGH FEDERAL ACQUISITION CIRCULAR 2005-53 EFFECTIVE 04 AUG 2011 AND DFARS CHANGE NOTICE 20110725.
