Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole/limited source (unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

MathWorks software, MATLAB, is CAD Design software that is used by design engineers in support of . The support of

MATLAB software is necessary to maintain it up to date per licensing agreements and to maintain the accreditation of the network that they run on. Failure to maintain an accredited system will result in its removal from the and is contrary to DOD instructions (DOD 8500.1). Running unsupported software renders the network illegal, similar to operating on pirated software. The only source for the support is from the software developer, MathWorks, Inc. This is a new installation as there are not enough concurrent licenses to support There are no other distributers of this software.

The cost of any other solution would potentially cost millions and cross warfare center functionality would be lost. There is no other software that will work with current initiatives and programs.
