About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, specifically the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), published this Special Notice on December 3, 2025, announcing its intent to conduct a sole-source procurement with MATHWORKS for MATLAB software licensing. The procurement is authorized under FAR 13.106-3 and FAR 6.302-1(b)(ii), establishing MATHWORKS as the only proposed source for this contract. This is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract, and the notice is published for information purposes only, though any quotations received will be considered at the government's discretion. The government retains sole authority to determine whether to proceed with this non-competitive procurement based on responses received. The justification for sole-source procurement is grounded in the proprietary nature of MATLAB and SIMULINK software, as only MATHWORKS can provide official patches, updates, and support for their installations.
The primary objective is to procure annual maintenance and support for existing MATLAB and SIMULINK licenses to ensure continued and uninterrupted software use within ONI operations. The due date for submissions is December 10, 2025, and interested parties must submit offers registered in the Online Representations and Certifications system (ORCA) at http://orca.bpn.gov. The government is seeking discounts from the offeror's standard schedule prices pursuant to FAR 8.404(d), and contractors must agree to submit payment requests electronically using the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system at https://wawf.eb.mil. This procurement follows commercial item contracting procedures under FAR 52.212 series clauses, with applicable Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements including electronic parts documentation and item unique identification provisions. While this is designated as a sole-source contract, the Special Notice serves to inform potential competitors that the government retains discretionary authority to conduct a competitive procurement if deemed appropriate.
