JandA MATLAB Redacted.pdf

This document is a Single Source Justification (Simplified Acquisition) for the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFOTEC) A7K contracting activity. The document details a renewal of 36 MATLAB software licenses from MathWorks, specifically for the AFOTEC Enterprise MATLAB Licensing project. The justification emphasizes that MATLAB is the primary analytical software for modeling and simulation in direct support of AFOTEC's mission, and no other software can provide compatible analytical capabilities or interface with existing data systems.

The procurement is structured as a small business set-aside, with MathWorks (a large business) previously contacted as the suggested source. The estimated contract cost is redacted, and the procurement is not considered a Bridge Action. AFOTEC commits to continually assess alternative mathematical software tools to potentially reduce future single-source dependencies. The contracting officer has determined, in accordance with FAR guidelines, that the circumstances of this contract action deem only a single source as reasonably available, with a planned contract date of 04-Jun-2025.
