Purchase Order N0017313P1909

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $3,683 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Mathworks, Inc. for software maintenance services, with performance completed by August 31, 2014. The award, issued on September 1, 2011, represents a maintenance renewal for MATLAB and/or Simulink software—mathematical computing platforms that are essential tools for ONR's research and development operations. No set-aside designation was used in this competitive procurement. The Mathworks, headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of technical computing software to the federal government and maintains an extensive portfolio of prime contract awards across multiple defense and civilian agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense, and various research institutes.

This purchase order reflects a routine software maintenance contract consistent with ONR's broader reliance on The Mathworks' MATLAB and Simulink platforms for advanced research, engineering applications, and scientific computation. The Mathworks has since expanded its relationship with ONR, securing a substantial $8.4 million enterprise license agreement extending through June 30, 2028, which underscores the strategic importance of its mathematical computing solutions to the agency's research mission. The company also serves as a subcontractor to major defense primes including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, providing similar software licensing and support services across the defense industrial base.
