This document is a "Sole Source Justification" memorandum from the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC-PCD). It justifies the procurement of a LabVIEW subscription through the Enterprise Agreement Program from National Instruments (NI) on a sole source basis.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains why the government is not conducting a competitive solicitation for LabVIEW software and related services. It details the agency's reliance on NI's LabVIEW software for data acquisition and its need to integrate with existing NI hardware. The justification highlights that alternative software may not integrate, posing risks to project schedules. It also notes that certain services are only available directly from NI. The procurement is being conducted using simplified acquisition procedures with an estimated total value not exceeding $250,000.00.
