This document is a Determination & Findings (D&F) for a single-source procurement authorized under RFO 12.102(a) for commercial products and services.

The Air Force Technical Center (CTF) under AFTC/PZZG is procuring additional MATLAB licenses and related toolboxes from MathWorks to support engineering data analysis capabilities. The acquisition includes two licenses each of the following products: MATLAB (ML), Aerospace Toolbox (AT), Communications Toolbox (CM), Control System Toolbox (CT), Curve Fitting Toolbox (CF), DSP System Toolbox (DS), Embedded Coder (EC), MATLAB Coder (ME), MATLAB Compiler (CO), MATLAB Compiler SDK (MJ), MATLAB Report Generator (MR), Mapping Toolbox (MG), Optimization Toolbox (OP), RF Toolbox (RF), Signal Processing Toolbox (SG), Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox (ST), Symbolic Math Toolbox (SM), and System Identification Toolbox (ID).

The justification for single-source procurement is based on MathWorks being the sole developer and maintainer of MATLAB software and current licenses, with no comparable alternatives available. The document notes that while MathWorks has authorized resellers providing a 25% discount through NASA SEWP, purchasing directly would result in a 329k-$31k cost increase. The determination was signed by Contracting Officer Jenna Jacobson on August 24, 2026.
