Efforts to identify comparable alternatives to MATLAB, such as SciPy, were unsuccessful due to the lack of compatibility and specific functionalities unique to MATLAB. The anticipated period for the renewal is from January 1 to December 31, 2025, emphasizing MATLAB’s critical role in the 412 Test Wing's mission to develop weapon systems. The document aims to ensure compliance with procurement regulations while addressing the need for continuity in software usage within the agency.
