Purchase Order N0017314P1000

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $25,404.50 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Mathworks, Inc. on March 1, 2014, for maintenance services with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2015. The Mathworks, headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts, is a leading provider of mathematical computing software to the federal government, specializing in MATLAB and Simulink platforms that serve as critical tools for advanced research, engineering applications, and scientific computation across defense and civilian agencies. This award carries no set-aside designation, allowing The Mathworks to compete on an open basis.

The contract represents a standard maintenance renewal for ONR's MATLAB software capabilities, consistent with The Mathworks' extensive portfolio of federal prime and subcontract awards across multiple Department of Defense agencies and civilian research institutions. The Mathworks maintains a particularly strong relationship with ONR, including a substantial enterprise license agreement valued at $8.4 million through June 30, 2028, which provides comprehensive MATLAB and Simulink enterprise licensing across the agency's research and development operations. The vendor's established position as a primary software vendor across the federal government underscores the strategic importance of mathematical computing infrastructure to ONR's research initiatives.
