C14 SSJ-BNJ JA Mathworks_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract with Mathworks, Inc. by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD). The contract is for Mathworks software license agreements and toolboxes, including MATLAB, Simulink, and numerous specialized toolboxes for engineering, scientific, and technical applications such as Aerospace, Computer Vision, Signal Processing, Robotics, and Vehicle Dynamics.

NSWCCD intends to establish an Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract scheduled for award in the fourth quarter of FY26. The agency has used Mathworks software for the last five years across all NAVSEA WFC Divisions for research, development, testing, and evaluation work. Market research confirmed Mathworks is the sole seller of this product suite, with no comparable open-source alternatives. The total cost impact of procuring these software licenses is estimated at approximately $60K, with potential additional costs for transition and training. The contract will be funded through the Navy Working Capital Fund and various Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation service cost centers.
