FY26 matlab

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center seeks perpetual MATLAB licenses and 18 associated toolboxes, with quotes due September 2, 2026, at 8:00 AM PST. This is a brand-name sole-source procurement restricted to authorized MathWorks resellers; questions are due August 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST.

Place of performance is Edwards Air Force Base, California. The requirement comprises two perpetual licenses each for MATLAB and the following toolboxes: Aerospace, Communications, Control System, Curve Fitting, DSP System, Embedded Coder, MATLAB Coder, MATLAB Compiler, MATLAB Compiler SDK, MATLAB Report Generator, Mapping, Optimization, RF, Signal Processing, Statistics and Machine Learning, Symbolic Math, and System Identification. Delivery is required within 30 calendar days of award to F1S0AD 420 FLTS at Edwards AFB.

The sole-source justification rests on MathWorks being the sole proprietor and developer of MATLAB, with switching to alternative software requiring expensive re-development of existing code and resulting in millions of dollars in increased costs. Market research confirmed the requirement is unavailable through AbilityOne, Federal Prison Industries, and the Department of War Enterprise Software Initiative. Direct purchase from MathWorks provides a 25% discount over NASA SEWP authorized vendors; purchasing through resellers would result in a $329,000–$31,000 cost increase. Quotes must include delivery lead time, warranty and support plan details, quote validity period, CAGE/UEI number, and discount terms. Pricing includes freight FOB Destination Edwards AFB. Evaluation uses Lowest Price Technically Acceptable based on vendor ability to provide the required licenses and authorized reseller status. The NAICS code is 513210, Software Publishers; PSC code is 7A20, Application Development Software (Perpetual License Software). Contracting Officer is Jenna Jacobson.
