The procurement is being conducted on a brand name basis with restricted competition under FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), as the government has determined that NI equipment is the only compatible material with no valid alternatives for existing laboratory systems.

Answers to submitted questions will be published in a subsequent solicitation amendment. The contracting officer is Michael Bonaiuto, with Sydney McDonald-Johnson serving as the administrative contracting officer.

The solicitation was originally designated as a total small business set-aside but has been amended to remove this restriction, opening competition to all qualified contractors capable of providing compliant NI products. The specific requirement includes six units of NI 9224 8-Channel +/-10V, 24-Bit analog input modules and three units of NI cDAQ-9185 CompactDAQ Chassis 4-Slot modules to support prototyping and validation testing for the Flat Line Towed Array Fairing TEMPALT project.
