About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification Memorandum for MathWorks software products issued by the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The procurement involves acquiring a Master License for 11 software products including MATLAB, Simulink, DSP System Toolbox, Embedded Coder, and other related toolboxes, with quantities ranging from 1-4 licenses per product. The total order is for a New 1 Standard, Designated Computer, Perpetual license.
The justification for sole source procurement centers on MathWorks being the exclusive manufacturer and North American provider of these software products. NSWC PCD argues that switching to alternative software would require costly and risky personnel retraining, potentially causing project delays and introducing operational errors. The Contracting Officer has determined this represents the best value option, considering price, features, and administrative costs. The requirement will be synopsized on sam.gov, and the procurement will use simplified acquisition procedures with a firm fixed price contract.

U.S.C. 2304(c) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, FAR 6.302-1.
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) currently has a requirement for the item(s) listed in Paragraph 3 of this document. This software is currently in use by project personnel and additional licenses are required. If another brand software were to be selected, the time and cost to retrain personnel who use this software would result in project delay, additional costs, and introduce unacceptable risk of error in the projects. MathWorks, Inc.
is the sole manufacturer, publisher and owner of MathWorks software products and the sole provider for these products in North America. No other company can provide what is required in
Paragraph 3 of this document.
As such, the government does not expect significant savings through competition and it is more advantageous to the Government to award on a sole source basis to the MathWorks, Inc. for the item(s) listed in Paragraph 3 of this document.
5. A determination by the ordering activity contracting officer that the order represents the best value consistent with FAR 13.106-1(b).
The Contracting Officer has determined that the order represents the best value and results in the lowest overall cost alternative (considering price, special features, administrative costs, etc.) to meet the Government’s needs.
6. A description of the market research conducted among schedule holders and the results or a statement of the reason market research was not conducted.
For the reasons specified in paragraph 4 above, MathWorks, Inc.is the only source that can meet the Government’s needs. This requirement will be synopsized in the government point of entry sam.gov.
7. Any other facts supporting the justification.
None.
8. A statement of the actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services is made.
As stated in paragraph 4 above, MathWorks, Inc.is the only source that can meet this requirement.
