Matlab Maintenance license Renewal

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking to renew a MATLAB maintenance license through a non-competitive sole-source procurement. This contract will provide critical software support for NIH's High Performance Computing Services Area, which serves the NIH Office of the Director, 27 Institutes and Centers, and other Department of Health and Human Services operating divisions. The procurement is being conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC code 7A21 (IT and Telecom - Business Application Software). Interested parties must submit capability statements, technical proposals, and cost proposals by December 1, 2025 at 9:00 AM Eastern time to Contracting Officer Michael Falzone at Michael.falzone@nih.gov. The evaluation criteria and detailed technical requirements for this procurement have not been specified in the available documentation, though the award will be based on submissions received by the stated deadline.

This procurement is not subject to any set-aside designations and is planned as a non-competitive award to The MathWorks, Inc., the incumbent contractor holding the Institute Wide License with the NIH's Center for Information Technology. The contract period runs for one year, from December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, under the Campus Wide Suite licensing agreement. The total contract value is not expected to exceed $250,000, which falls within the simplified acquisition threshold. This sole-source procurement reflects the specialized nature of MATLAB software and its integrated role within NIH's existing computing infrastructure and licensing arrangements. The abbreviated pre-solicitation period, with only five days between posting and the proposal deadline, reflects the routine nature of this license renewal action.
