The Office of Naval Research awarded a $36,323.25 firm fixed-price purchase order to The Mathworks, Inc. for MATLAB renewal software licensing. The award was made on July 1, 2015, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2016, and performance will be executed at The Mathworks' headquarters in Natick, Massachusetts. No set-aside designation was used in this competitive procurement, allowing The Mathworks to compete on an open basis for this renewal contract supporting the Navy's research and development operations.
This purchase order represents a routine software renewal within The Mathworks' extensive federal contracting portfolio across defense and civilian agencies. The Mathworks specializes in providing MATLAB and Simulink mathematical computing software platforms, which are essential tools for advanced research, engineering applications, and scientific computation throughout the federal government. The Office of Naval Research subsequently awarded The Mathworks a substantially larger enterprise license agreement valued at $8.4 million through June 30, 2028, demonstrating the strategic importance of these computing solutions to naval research initiatives and reflecting the company's established position as a primary software vendor supporting federal research and development operations requiring advanced mathematical computing infrastructure.
