About this file
This document is a post-award synopsis for an enterprise software license for MATLAB. The Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RQ) has awarded a sole-source contract (FA2396-26-P-B013) to The MathWorks, Inc. for $5,265,901, with a contract end date of December 31, 2025. The contract provides an enterprise-level license for the MATLAB family of products to approximately 900 scientists and engineers across multiple locations, enabling mathematical modeling and simulation capabilities critical to AFRL, USAF, DoD, and joint-service programs. The sole-source justification is based on the inability to fulfill the requirement through alternative sources without significant delays and cost duplication, with the procurement executed under FAR 13.5 authority.

Action was awarded sole source and not competitive.
The Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RQ) continues to require access to the MATLAB family of products at the enterprise level.
This level of access is essential to continue to provide support for a wide range of AFRL, USAF, DoD, and Joint-service programs. The MATLAB requirement cannot be fulfilled by any other source without incurring considerable delays and duplication of costs. Therefore, sole-source authority under FAR 13.5 remains the only effective method of meeting this requirement.
The Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RQ) requires mathematical modeling and simulation software be made available to their entire technical community--approximately 900 scientists and engineers (S&Es) --to fulfill their mission, through a single, enterprise software license. The software must be made simultaneously available to multiple locations and allow for minor fluctuation in user counts in any given year.
The software must also be capable of utilizing and/or modifying previously-developed models and simulation tools created via the MATLAB family of products, created by Mathworks, which has historically been utilized by the AFRL/RQ community for this purpose. Enterprise-availability and compatibility with existing modeling and simulation libraries allows for expanded research capacity by lowering operating costs and increasing collaboration within AFRL/RQ and its partner directorates and programs.
