LSJ redacted_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Limited Source Justification (LSJ) from the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence for procuring an annual maintenance subscription for ESRI ArcGIS software. The procurement is for a firm fixed price contract to obtain an annual maintenance subscription for ESRI, which includes license upgrades and telephonic help desk support for a 12-month period. The contract will be issued under FAR 8.405-6(b)(1), justifying a single-source procurement based on the unique nature of the product.

The LSJ indicates that replacing the current ESRI proprietary software is not cost-effective, and integrating an alternative application would require substantial duplicate efforts and potentially cause unacceptable delays in meeting time-line requirements. The procurement will be made through the GSA schedule, with pricing determined using historical data, IGCE, and published GSA price lists. The total contract is below the threshold requiring a formal acquisition plan, and the Office of Naval Intelligence has determined this represents the best value for their specific technological needs.
