Attachment 3- Brand Name Justification Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Air Force's 377 MSG/PKB contracting activity. The requirement is to purchase LabVIEW software network licenses for a Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench graphical programming environment. National Instruments is the sole manufacturer of LabVIEW branded software in North America, and the Air Force previously solicited on GSA 2GIT and NASA SEWP with zero responses for the mandatory source. The document justifies the single-source procurement based on LabVIEW's unique graphical programming capabilities that are critical to supporting current development efforts for an unspecified Air Force mission involving telescope operations. The contracting officer has determined that a single source is reasonably available, with the procurement dated for 12 August 2025, and the 377 MSG/PKB will continue to conduct market research on future LabVIEW requirements to capture potential changes.
