About the company
National Instruments Corp, doing business as National Instruments, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co that manufactures automated test and measurement instrumentation, data acquisition hardware, and software platforms for defense, aerospace, and civilian research agencies as a prime contractor (96% of recent awards). The company is not designated as a small business and competes on full-and-open contracts with no set-aside posture across its federal footprint. National Instruments is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and operates across primary NAICS categories including Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing, Computer Systems Design Services, and Software Publishers, with named subsidiaries including Digilent Inc., Ettus Research LLC (software-defined radio), Phase Matrix Inc., and Measurement Computing Corporation.
National Instruments' federal capability portfolio centers on modular PXI instrumentation, LabVIEW software platforms, data acquisition modules, multifunction I/O devices, software-defined radio systems, and specialized test station components for naval, aerospace, and Army programs. Representative prime work includes a $65 million single-award IDIQ with the Naval Air Systems Command (awarded April 10, 2024, expiring April 9, 2027) for Consolidated Automated Support Systems for Fleet Operational Test components, with delivery orders to date totaling approximately $32 million across orders ranging from $95,830 to $17.2 million. A $9.0 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command (awarded October 31, 2025, expiring October 30, 2030) authorizes procurement of new National Instruments and Emerson equipment plus evaluation and repair services. Additional prime awards include a $711,915 LabVIEW enterprise agreement renewal with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, a $988,086 NI Enterprise Program software bundle with the Army Research Development and Engineering Command, and a $891,080 RADIAC Integrated Test Equipment Suites maintenance contract with Naval Sea Systems Command extending through September 21, 2029.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Navy programs and NASA. The top five funding agencies by combined potential value account for 58% of all recent awards, dominated by the Naval Air Systems Command (119 awards, $98.6 million combined potential value), NASA Shared Services Center (278 awards, $42.1 million), Naval Sea Systems Command (641 awards, $28.5 million), Army Research Development and Engineering Command (181 awards, $5.9 million), and Naval Air Warfare Center (268 awards, $5.7 million). The two rankings diverge notably: Naval Sea Systems Command leads by award count (641) but generates only the third-largest dollar total, while Naval Air Systems Command places third by count but anchors the highest dollar value through fewer, higher-value delivery orders. This reflects National Instruments' role as both a high-volume consumables supplier and a strategic vendor for Navy fleet operational test infrastructure.
National Instruments maintains significant presence on federal vehicles including the GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS24F0007K (1,719 task orders, $25.9 million combined potential value), an Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA (NNX15MD98B, 251 task orders, $7.4 million), an Air Force IDIQ (FA857121D0005, 23 task orders, $9.1 million), and additional Navy IDIQs. Activity has grown from 49 awards in 2022 to 98 in 2024, with 89 awards in 2025 and 23 through September 2026 (reflecting incomplete-year data). The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months represents only $2.8 million combined potential value across eight awards, suggesting limited near-term recompete exposure relative to the vendor's overall portfolio.
In its subcontractor role, National Instruments supplies specialized instrumentation and software to major primes including Lockheed Martin (for PAC-3 and PATRIOT production, CASS FOT sustainment, and SLAM ER redesign work), Northrop Grumman (receiver-transmitter radio repair for HC-27J, precision guidance kits, B-2 special test equipment), Bell Textron (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA development), BAE Systems (DARPA JANUS, MK54 LWT kits, M109A7/M992A3 production), Raytheon (COYOTE counter-UAS systems, PACA support, AIM-9X production), and Booz Allen Hamilton (DANCE and MASTER programs). Ideal System Solutions appears frequently as an intermediary, routing National Instruments Enterprise Program agreements and hardware purchases to NASA centers and other federal agencies. Recent sub work includes RS-25 engine production restart support for Aerojet Rocketdyne, FLRAA airframe development for Bell Textron, and automated test system components for General Dynamics MK54 lightweight torpedo kits.
National Instruments' federal portfolio reflects a mature, high-volume supplier posture oriented toward proprietary software ecosystems (LabVIEW) and modular instrumentation standards (PXI) that have become embedded across Navy aviation programs and NASA research facilities. The $314 million combined potential value across 4,969 recent awards, with 55% obligated, signals an active, stable customer base rather than growth-stage pipeline. The vendor does not compete under small-business set-asides and operates exclusively as a large-business prime, positioning it as a complementary teaming partner rather than a prime set-aside option for contractors seeking SBA certification.
