Purchase Order N0017314P1735

The Office of Naval Research awarded a $16,014.72 firm fixed-price purchase order to National Instruments Corp for a daughterboard on July 10, 2014, with an ultimate completion date of July 24, 2014. The work was performed in Austin, Texas, where National Instruments maintains its headquarters. This contract represents a straightforward procurement of specialized instrumentation components consistent with National Instruments' extensive portfolio of automated test and measurement systems supplied to naval and defense agencies. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, reflecting the contractor's classification as a large for-profit organization.

National Instruments Corp, a leading global provider of software-connected hardware and automated test solutions, serves as both a prime contractor and subcontractor across multiple Department of Defense agencies and civilian departments. The company maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles with naval commands, including a $65 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with Naval Air Systems Command for consolidated automated support systems and related instrumentation. The company's federal business focuses primarily on delivering commercial off-the-shelf products and customized testing equipment rather than research and development activities, positioning it as a key supplier of standardized instrumentation and software platforms across naval aviation programs and broader defense infrastructure.
