The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst Procurement Department plans to acquire software and instrumentation hardware exclusively from National Instruments Corporation. The procurement covers the software suite TestStand, LabView, and LabWindows/CVI, which are integral to supporting the Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) operations and development environments managed by PMA260. These products, including run-time systems, system software, and test programs, are already embedded in several ATE systems under long-term life cycle support. This sole source procurement is conducted under the authority that recognizes National Instruments as the only capable provider due to proprietary ownership of the required software, eliminating the availability of a competitive solicitation. The contract, identified by solicitation number N68335-26-Q-0424, was posted on May 6, 2026, with a response deadline of May 21, 2026. Although this is not a request for competitive proposals, the government will consider any responses received within the 15-day window solely to determine whether competition is feasible. All inquiries and responses should be directed primarily to Mr. Justin Panecki at the NAWCAD office located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey. The acquisition aligns with NAICS code 513210 and is managed by the Department of Defense’s Navair Warfare Center Aircraft Division to ensure continuity and support of essential ATE software and hardware capabilities.
