View moreThe Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, AFRL Information Directorate intends to negotiate a sole-source, five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with The Mathworks, Inc. located in Natick, Massachusetts. This requirement is for Mathworks software and software maintenance, specifically covering the Matlab, Simulink, and PolySpace product families along with add-on toolkit and Blockset modules available through the company’s commercial product list. The firm-fixed-price contract will also provide maintenance, support, and license renewals for periods not exceeding one year. This acquisition is categorized under NAICS code 511210 and PSC 7A21 IT and Telecom - Business Application Software (Perpetual License Software).
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) identified a need for these specific products to ensure full interoperability with existing platforms. Market research indicated that alternative mathematical software lacks the required product suite and would necessitate significant costs and delays for software conversion, testing, and government user training. The government believes awarding to another source would result in substantial duplication of costs not expected to be recovered through competition. Establishing this IDIQ is intended to eliminate duplicative acquisition planning, small business coordination, and pre-award evaluation efforts.
This pre-solicitation notice, identified by solicitation number FA875121R0003, is issued under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13. While this is not a request for competitive proposals, the agency will consider capability statements or proposals from responsible sources submitted by the November 27, 2020, deadline to Tabitha Haggart. The government anticipates a contract award date on or before December 31, 2020, though funds are not presently available for this effort. The performance of this contract will support the AFRL Rome Research Site in Rome, New York.
