AI Contract Overview
Contract FA239626PB005 is a firm fixed price, sole source award granted to MathWorks for an enterprise-level MATLAB software license to support the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. Justified under FAR 13.5 and 10 USC 3572, the procurement provides mathematical modeling and simulation capabilities to approximately 900 scientists and engineers across multiple locations. This enterprise access is critical for maintaining compatibility with existing modeling libraries and supporting various AFRL, USAF, DoD, and Joint-service programs while avoiding significant duplication costs and operational delays associated with transitioning to alternative software. The contract consists of a base year running from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with two optional one-year extensions through December 31, 2028. Performance is centered in Natick, Massachusetts, with administrative oversight provided by the AFRL/PZLET office at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. Funding is allocated from FY26 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations. Market research, including the evaluation of alternatives like Mathematica and Enthought Canopy and a review of GWACs such as NASA SEWP and GSA 2GIT, confirmed that MathWorks is the only provider capable of meeting the technical and operational requirements of the directorate.

Full Description
Action was awarded sole source and not competitive.
The Sensors Directorate (AFRL/RY) 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/RY) 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/RY
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/RY and its
partner directorates and programs.
