This is a Sole Source (Including Brand Name) Justification document for a MATLAB Enterprise License procurement by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)/Sensors Directorate. The document justifies a sole-source acquisition of a MATLAB enterprise license for approximately 900 scientists and engineers, to be used for mathematical modeling and simulation across multiple locations with the ability to modify existing models. The contract is a firm fixed-price, 12-month base period with two 12-month option periods, estimated from January 2026 to December 2028, with a total value redacted in the document.

The justification emphasizes that the MATLAB product family is critically integrated into the Sensors Directorate's work and supports collaboration with multiple DoD agencies including AFLCMC, AFOTEC, NASIC, MSIC, DARPA, and OSD/DOT&E. Market research conducted on December 4, 2025, confirmed no alternative sources exist that can provide comparable capabilities. MathWorks is identified as the sole manufacturer, publisher, and technical support provider for these software products in North America. The procurement aims to ensure continued access to essential mathematical modeling and simulation tools without disrupting ongoing research and development programs.
