The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport (NUWCDIVNPT) seeks to award a Firm Fixed Price purchase order to The Mathworks, Inc. for MATLAB and Simulink software and related services on a Sole Source basis, as detailed in Request for Quote (RFQ) N6660425Q0334. This solicitation, valid for less than fifteen days, specifies the need for 400 perpetual licenses, 100 standard annual licenses, and various toolboxes for a delivery period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. A range of specialized toolboxes essential for engineering and computational tasks is required, reflecting a comprehensive list of software applications important for the Navy's operational needs. The procurement is unrestricted and complies with NAICS code 513210, with a small business size standard of $47 million. Key FAR and DFARS clauses governing this solicitation include representations related to tax liabilities, instructions to offerors, and cybersecurity requirements. Interested parties may submit proposals or capability statements for consideration, with responses aiding future competitive requirements. Active registration with the System for Award Management (SAM) is mandatory for potential awardees. For inquiries, contact Jennifer Vatousiou at the provided email address. This solicitation reflects the Navy's commitment to maintaining advanced technological capabilities through established commercial partnerships.

The document outlines the justification for the sole-source procurement of MATLAB from MathWorks by NUWCDIVNPT Code 104. It emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a consistent software environment that aligns with existing network systems, highlighting the proprietary nature of MATLAB and the absence of alternative solutions. Transitioning to a different software would incur significant costs and delays due to the need for retraining personnel and recreating complex functionalities previously developed in MATLAB. The proposed procurement aims to acquire MATLAB and Simulink software, along with toolsets, training, maintenance, and consultation services, to be centrally managed across the command. A public solicitation notice will be released, inviting any responsible sources to propose alternatives, although the document asserts that no feasible competition exists. The contracting officer will conduct a cost analysis to ensure fair pricing, while current plans do not foresee competing future contracts for similar services. This process reflects compliance with government procurement regulations and underscores the critical role MATLAB plays in NUWCDIVNPT's operational effectiveness and integration.
