    N0016725Q0046_Brand Name Justification_Redacted.pdf
    The memorandum outlines the justification for a sole source procurement of data acquisition system (DAS) hardware from National Instruments for the PMS 460 funded DDG(X) model-scale testing. It emphasizes that, under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), competition is not feasible as only National Instruments products are suitable due to existing in-house software frameworks developed for their hardware. The specific models needed include various NI chassis and modules, all crucial for real-time monitoring of structural tests to identify potential damage. The justification cites several reasons for this sole-source determination, including proprietary rights and the necessity of specialized equipment that aligns with NSWCCD’s extensive experience with National Instruments, which fosters collaboration and minimizes delays. Alternative solutions may lead to increased costs and the risk of not meeting critical project deadlines. Therefore, based on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines, the decision necessitates procurement solely from National Instruments.
