About this file
This document contains a brand name justification and details of a related federal contract opportunity for NI LabView engineering software. The brand name justification requests the purchase of National Instruments LabView software maintenance renewal licenses and documentation for an estimated $45,000. It cites that LabView is currently deployed and servicing the modeling and simulation labs at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, which provide technical expertise for Naval research and lifecycle engineering. As the sole provider of this software, National Instruments is justified for this non-competitive purchase due to the need to maintain compatibility with the labs' existing technical baseline and integration standards. The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation issued by the Department of the Navy for these same NI LabView engineering software products and services, with responses due to the named contracting officer. No substitutes for the brand name will be accepted.

BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION
FOR SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS
From: 104
To: Simplified Acquisition Section
Subject: Brand Name Justification for National Instruments LabView
Engineering Software Suite
1. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED SUPPLIES/SERVICES, ESTIMATED
VALUE, AND DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS
LabView is a graphical programming environment engineers use to develop automated research, validation, and production test systems. It has tools for advanced analysis, signal processing and DIAdem Advanced for measurement data search, visualization, analysis, and creating automated reports.
The acquisition request provides for the purchase of NI LabView software maintenance renewal licenses and related technical documentation at an estimated cost of $45,000.
2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR BRAND NAME BASED ON
CONTRACTOR’S UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OR NATURE OF THE
ACQUISITION
This software renewal is a SCC funded application that currently services NSWCPD’s RDT&E modeling & simulation (M&S) labs & its various engineering environments. The RDT&E labs provides technical expertise & support for both Naval machinery R&D and Naval machinery lifecycle engineering in support of Fleet and other DOD and Non-DOD customers in the areas of Surface and Undersea Warfare.
The software application has a well-documented baseline performance and system integration standard that continues to meet all of the technical salient requirements of the current solicitation. Its established presence within the NSWCPD M&S community guarantees its users a known baseline for technical performance and product expectation. The government has substantial confidence that the demonstration of superior past performance is a reasonable indicator of similar future performance and it is therefore requested that a software renewal with support reinstatement be applied for a 12 month period for the software application.
3. MARKET SURVEY
NA. The service and license maintenance requested is specific to the software application brand currently deployed and servicing the M&S labs.
