National Instruments Enterprise Renewal

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal is seeking to procure a National Instruments Enterprise Software Agreement renewal through a sole source combined synopsis solicitation under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii). The procurement covers software licenses and maintenance services for proprietary National Instruments software, including unlimited and finite licenses for the EA Platform Bundle, Debug Bundle, Circuit Design Suite, and DIAdem Professional, which are essential for connecting and operating laboratory equipment across multiple directorates. The contract structure includes a firm fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) arrangement with a base 12-month term from June 15, 2025 to June 14, 2026, plus two optional one-year ordering periods extending through June 14, 2028. While the solicitation allows all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations per FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii), the agency has justified that only National Instruments can fulfill this requirement due to the proprietary nature of the software. The response deadline is June 11, 2025, with no phone calls accepted, and the agency will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies National Instruments as both the incumbent and sole capable source for the software licenses and maintenance services. The contract's total estimated value has been redacted from the available documentation, though it encompasses comprehensive software licensing across Standard, Test, Control, and Platform categories including LabVIEW, TestStand, Real-Time Module, and various specialized toolkits for engineering and testing applications. The enterprise agreement provides unlimited named-user and computer-based licenses for multiple software titles supporting military technical and research operations. Performance will take place in Huntsville, Alabama 35898, with funding sourced from fiscal year 2025 Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funds. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers and will be executed on June 13, 2025, using simplified commercial item procedures for this critical software infrastructure supporting laboratory operations across the Combat Capabilities Development Command.
