Renewal of National Instruments (NI) Enterprise Agreement (EA) for MSFC

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for a renewal of Enterprise Agreement that focuses on Labview software licenses, specific training, and support to assist the MSFC engineering community. The software provides the capability for designing and developing software programs that interact with data acquisition and control hardware, and provide a user interface for manual and automated control of laboratory experiments including the collection, recording and analysis of data from the experiments. Under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.501(b)(1)(i), NASA/MSFC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the Licenses, training and support to National Instruments Corporation. The Labview code is proprietary and a source of the salient characteristics is not available to the Government. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to [email protected] or [email protected] or no later than 28 July 2021 by 11:00 A.M. CST. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
