About this file
This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for simplified procedures on certain commercial items submitted by the Air Force Test Center (AFTC), Directorate of Contracting, Installation Contracting Division, located at Edwards AFB, California. The document justifies a brand name procurement for a PXI System Upgrade to support the Test and Evaluation Modeling and Simulation (TEMS) program, specifically requested by the 445th Test Squadron (TS)/EWJN for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) F-35 program. The Purchase Request/Local ID Number is F1S0AX6051A001, with a funding level between the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) and $750,000. The contracting activity is AFTC/PZZG, and this is identified as a new Individual Justification document under the authority of simplified acquisition procedures.
The procurement requires various National Instruments PXI chassis, modules, associated cables, and proprietary Basic Assembly Service. Specific components under two configuration IDs include Thunderbolt 4 Type-C cables, PXI Express connectors, multiple chassis models (PXIe-1095 and PXIe-1092), digital I/O modules, relay modules, analog input/output modules, and power cords. The justification confirms that National Instruments is the sole source manufacturer of these proprietary components and that no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Market research verified National Instruments' authorized re-seller list status. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost is fair and reasonable, and noted that awarding to any other source would result in substantial re-engineering costs, software redevelopment, and unacceptable program delays. The document was coordinated on March 12, 2026, and approved by the Contracting Officer on March 16, 2026.
