DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT

The determination by the Government to make this a single-sole source requirement is based upon the market research conducted as prescribed in FAR Part 10-Market Research. The results of the market research concluded that ESRI is the software developer of ArcGIS who has the software and capability needed to complete this requirement. ArcGIS, a geographic information system (GIS) that is used to create, manage, analyze, and maps data sets. ArcGIS connects data to a map, integrating location data with a variety of descriptive information to provide the types of mapping that allow thoughtful analysis by understanding patterns, relationships, and geographic context.

Background As our nation continues to address an opioid epidemic and an overall behavioral health epidemic, it is critical to engage advances in technology to help understand, predict, and rapidly respond to national, state, and local substance misuse related issues. SAMHSA is undergoing major efforts to map grantee data with other relevant data sources to strategically understand and respond to the substance misuse issues facing our communities. SAMHSA is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to utilize their data sets, such as seizure data, clandestine drug lab locations, licit drug manufacturing through the Automated Reports and Consolidated Ordering System, cartel mapping and other data sources to map with SAMHSA grantees to advance this effort. To allow for efficient data transferring and mapping, it is critical that SAMHSA has a compatible data platform and software with DEA.

Purpose and Objectives The purpose of this contract is to secure a sole-source license software with the Environmental System Research Institute, Inc., (ESRI) for its ArcGIS data mapping software. ESRI will also provide online support, training capacity, and viewer access that will allow for data transfer and mapping compatible with DEA data sources as identified in the contract requirements.
