    The document outlines a Sole Source Justification for the renewal of MATLAB Annual Software License Maintenance, intended for a follow-on contract at Edwards Air Force Base. The contracting officer, Wendell Brown, seeks a Firm Fixed Price purchase due to MATLAB's unique capabilities vital for defense-related data analysis and software compatibility in engineering operations. The justification cites FAR 6.302-1, stating that alternative software would result in substantial costs and unacceptable delays, referencing an estimated $7.5 million in potential redevelopment costs. 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.
    The document outlines the software maintenance services for MATLAB and various toolboxes licensed by different entities within a federal context. The licenses cover a wide range of MATLAB products, including Simulink, Control System Toolbox, Signal Processing Toolbox, and Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox, among others.
