About this opportunity

The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) located at Arnold AFB, Tennessee, intends to procure MathWorks software renewals for Tunnel 9 at its White Oak Site, specifically seeking to renew licenses for MATLAB and associated toolboxes. The procurement will be conducted as a sole-source contract with Enterprise Technology Solutions, Inc., a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) under NAICS code 541519. The government will consider this procurement under FAR 19.1506 and is authorized by multiple statutory provisions, including 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5) and 15 U.S.C. 637(m). Market research has been conducted through GSA eBuy and NASA SEWP platforms to validate the sole-source approach. Interested parties may submit electronic responses by 1:00 PM CDT on December 13, 2024, with all questions directed to Ms. Leslie R. McGowan via email.

The contract is not set aside for any specific small business category, though the awardee is a WOSB. The anticipated contract value will not exceed $4.5M, covering software licenses for multiple concurrent and designated computer configurations. Enterprise Technology Solutions, Inc. (CAGE code 62PR1) has been determined to be a responsible contractor capable of performing the work. The software renewal will cover a period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2024, and includes 12 MATLAB concurrent licenses, 1 Simulink license, and various specialized toolboxes such as Control System, Image Processing, Signal Processing, and Parallel Computing. The government's justification notes that the existing MATLAB codebase would require over 3 man-years and approximately $700K to redevelop if an alternative software solution were selected.
