Looking for contact information for support in Lincoln Nebraska. I need to have an existing application migrated from Win7 32b to Win10 64b OS.

Have you tried it yet? It might just, you know, work.
When we did a bulk in-place so-called "upgrade" from Win 7 to 10 a few years back, almost all the old executables kept working. (Though several systems needed a reinstall of serial and VISA drivers.)
All apps were 32-bit LABVIEW executables, most OS'es were 64-bit Windows both before and after.

Kevin P … The application was created years ago for one of our lab testers. I have no experience with it so I was hoping to find a local expert to assist with the migration. As you stated, it might be as simple as reinstalling the application on new OS. However, I don't even know what VISA drivers are. I would prefer to contract with someone who knows what they are doing vs plowing through it myself.

I applaud your foresight. Most of the posts here are from people more willing to spend time than money, so I steer my responses accordingly. However, considering you don't know what VISA drivers are (for example), there's a fair chance that there are other important details about the test system that need a more thorough assessment than my quick, "Hey, give it a try, who knows?"
National Instruments has an "Alliance Network" of consultants and integrators that they've vetted. The ones I've dealt with have been excellent, and I would expect good things out of anyone who made the list. Here's a link, you'll find one right there in your area...
