This is a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 8 Limited-Sources Justification (LSJ) document for a brand-name acquisition by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA).

DCSA's Procurement Solutions office seeks to procure ESRI ArcGIS software and related products on a limited-source basis through a General Services Administration (GSA) delivery order under GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) number GS-35F-253CA. The requirement includes one ArcGIS Online Professional User Type Annual Subscription (Desktop Migration) Primary Maintenance, five ArcGIS Online Professional User Type Annual Subscription (Desktop Migration) Secondary Maintenance, two ArcGIS Enterprise Standard Up to Four Cores Maintenance, six ArcGIS GIS Server Standard Additional Cores Maintenance, two ArcGIS Developer Bundle Migrations from ArcGIS Developer Premium Annual Subscription, and one ArcGIS Developer Bundle Migration from ArcGIS Developer Professional Annual Subscription. Additionally, DCSA intends to add two sole-source line items for ESRI ArcGIS Developer Bundle Migration software as Open Market Items on the GSA FSS schedule, with a total estimated value under the Micro Purchase Threshold of $15,000. This is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) delivery order covering a 12-month subscription period from May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027. The justification establishes that ESRI is the sole-source provider, as ArcGIS software is proprietary and licensed exclusively by Esri, Inc., with no authorized resellers or alternative products meeting government requirements. Market research confirmed no competing GIS software products can be modified to meet agency needs. The contracting officer determined this GSA contract represents the best value for government pricing and terms.
