MathWorks MATLAB

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate with MathWorks Inc. for the acquisition of MathWorks Enterprise Licenses and Maintenance Support. The software licenses and maintenance support are needed by NIST for a one-year period of performance. The NIST Scientific Software Working Group has the need to increase its access to all of MathWorks' software tools currently in use to support the science conducted in the NIST laboratories. • The acquisition includes MathWorks MATLAB toolbox software licenses and maintenance support. • The software is necessary to maintain the continuity of the maintenance support and ensure uninterruptable and reliable service. • Multiple current projects are dependent on the past and current MATLAB runs and configurations. • Terminating the use of the MathWorks MATLAB and tools licenses will significantly interrupt the flow of the output of these ongoing projects and will severely hamper NIST research efforts.
