S26-0151_-_Vendor_Letter.pdf

This is a sole source justification letter from Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) to the City of Orlando, Florida, regarding solicitation number S26-0151 for an enterprise agreement covering ArcGIS products and services. The City of Orlando is seeking to establish a comprehensive enterprise agreement with Esri that will provide software licensing, maintenance, and online services for internal organizational redistribution. The agreement will include the right to copy and deploy specified quantities of capped items and unlimited quantities of uncapped items during the contract term. Potential alternative suppliers have a seven-calendar-day response period from November 14, 2025, through November 20, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. (ET) to submit product information, statements of qualifications, or evidence of comparable capabilities to Procurement Agent II Lindsey Hladik at lindsey.hladik@orlando.gov. All communications and submissions must be submitted by email only.

Esri asserts in this letter that it is the sole source provider of U.S. domestic enterprise agreements, as only Esri, as the owner and manufacturer, can grant the right to copy and deploy products within an enterprise agreement structure. While some Esri products may be available through value-added resellers on a unit-priced basis, these resellers cannot provide the bundled package and deployment rights characteristic of an enterprise agreement. No specific contract value, budget range, or pricing terms are detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designations identified, and the contract is structured as a sole source opportunity pending the seven-day challenge period for alternative suppliers.
