PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide LabVIEW software and National Instruments hardware support. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein.

Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) support services and expertise (software, hardware and instrumentation integration) including equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform LabVIEW software and National Instruments hardware support as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

SCADA systems are crucial for our organization since they help to maintain efficiency, process data for smarter decisions, and communicate system issues to help mitigate downtime.

1.2 Background: The original LabVIEW software (version 3.0) was purchased in 1993 to support Test & Evaluation (T&E) at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), West Desert Test Center (WDTC), and Data Sciences Division (DSD). Over the course of the last 30 years, LabVIEW software service contracts have been purchased by the government to keep the software at an updated level (currently version 2023). In addition, the government has purchased an enormous amount of National Instruments hardware, which interfaces directly with the National Instruments (now NI) LabVIEW software. When instrument control software that was compatible with the image. This caused WDTC to migrate all test fixture control systems to NI hardware and LabVIEW software.

Meanwhile, WDTC continues to employ a variety of control hardware and software across the Test Center.

1.3 Objectives: The service objective is to provide qualified personnel to perform LabVIEW software and National Instruments hardware support and training.

1.4 Scope: The types of services to be performed are as follows:

Period of Performance: The period of performance shall be for one (1) Base Year of 12 months and four (4) 12-month option years. The Period of Performance reads as follows:
