Source Justification and Approval

1. Contracting Activity: Army Contracting Command

Aberdeen Proving Ground

Building 6001 Combat Drive

Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 21005

2. Description of Action:

The Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) Software Engineering Center

(SEC) requests a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract with Environmental Systems Research

Institute (ESRI), Inc., (Cage Code 0AMS3 ) (NAICS 541519), 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373. The requirement will renew ArcGIS for Desktop Standard Single

Use Primary Maintenance, ArcGIS for Desktop Standard Single Use Secondary

Maintenance, ArcGIS for Desktop Standard Concurrent Use Primary Maintenance, and

ArcGIS for Desktop Standard Concurrent Use Secondary Maintenance.

The requirement will also procure ArcGIS Desktop Basic Concurrent Use new software licenses and maintenance. The Government projects an award for June 2016 Operation and Maintenance, Army (OMA) funds will be used and are available.

. An acquisition plan is not required because this procurement does not meet the threshold at Defense Federal

Acquisition Regulation Supplement 207.103(d)(i)(B).

The maintenance renewal of this action is a follow-on to contract number W56JSR-15-F-

0004. This contract was awarded on a sole source basis under the authority of 10 U.S.C.

2304(c) (1) and FAR 6.302-1. Paragraph, “Actions to Increase Competition” of the previous justification, stated: “Commercial software manufacturers are encouraged to increase the number of authorized resellers. The manufacturer will also be encouraged to pursue distribution of its products/services through Small businesses, HUBZONE, Service

Disabled Veteran Owned Small business, and Woman Owned Small businesses.” Those actions were accomplished, but ESRI is still the sole developer and distributor of this item.

3. Description of Supplies/Services:

ArcGIS for Desktop includes Esri’s premier product called ArcMap which is the leading, traditional GIS authoring, editing, and geoprocessing application. This software application allows the Instrument Set, Reconnaissance and Surveying (ENFIRE) which is a digital tool set that places the right tools in the hands of engineer soldiers conducting tactical reconnaissance and construction projects and replaces the old analog Surveying

Set, Military Field Sketching kit. ArcGIS for Desktop embedded in ENFIRE incorporates the ability to automatically populate field data on digital forms used for route, road, bridge, hasty minefield, and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) reconnaissance/ reporting with relevant information from the peripheral devices included in the ENFIRE set. ArcGIS for Desktop serves as a means to author, share and facilitate rapid collection and dissemination of information to commanders in the field.

The Prophet software tactical signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and processing systems are employed by tactical commanders to gather the unit's intelligence needs based on the survey, exploit, and analysis of enemy communications on the battlefield.

The system enhances a unit's capabilities by deploying at greater ranges from a headquarters and providing signals intelligence of a greater area. It is also flexible enough to deploy in support of tailored or short-notice missions where robust signals intelligence collection and analysis is critical to mission success and force protection.

ArcGIS for Desktop is an application that is required by ENFIRE and Prophet to perform the system’s mission. ArcGIS Desktop is part of the Prophet fielded baselines. ArcGIS

Desktop is a critical tool for the Prophet system that allows the Warfighter to effectively translate raw data into intelligence reports that commanders rely on for decision making.

The software allows soldiers to collect and manage data, create professional maps and complex analytical models, perform traditional and advanced spatial analysis, and solve real problems on the battlefield

SEC provides Post Production Software Support (PPSS) for these systems and the software license is required as part of their software releases.

5. Reason for Authority Cited:

ESRI Inc., 330 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373 as the owner and manufacturer, is the sole-source provider for ESRI ArcGIS for Desktop.

ArcGIS Desktop is part of the ENFIRE and Prophet baselines. Ongoing maintenance is required to receive patches, support, and cost-effective upgrades.

. The manufacturer releases new versions annually with improvements to functionality and design that are beneficial to the Warfighter and the ENFIRE and Prophet mission.

ArcGIS Desktop was originally selected by Product Director, Combat Terrain

Information Systems (PD CTIS) as meeting the system and Warfighter requirements.

Generally speaking replacing a major component of a fielded baseline is out of scope of

SEC Intelligent Support Division (ISD)’s sustainment mission while the PD continues to work new, not-yet-transitioned baselines. While there is other Geographical Information

Software, such as GovPilot, eSpatial and GIS Asset Management Software that provide similar capabilities; it would be prohibitively expensive to add to the baseline in terms of duplicative cost and certification time.

6. Efforts to Obtain Competition: The SEC Centralized Acquisition and License

Management (CALM) Team conducted market research, details of which are in the market research section of this document, paragraph 8. The Contracting Officer shall publish the notices required by FAR 5.201.

a. Effective competition. The Contracting Officer shall publish the notices required by FAR 5.201.

b. Subcontracting competition. The Government will seek to maximize subcontracting competition with a focus on subcontracting to qualified small businesses, veteran owned service disabled small businesses, women owned small businesses and small disadvantaged businesses.

7. Actions to Increase Competition: Commercial software manufacturers are encouraged to increase the number of authorized resellers. Additionally, upon receipt of the requirement an authorized list of authorized distributors for this software is immediately requested from the original manufacturer. The manufacturer is also encouraged to pursue distribution of their products/services through Small businesses, HUBZONE, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, and Woman Owned Small businesses.

8. Market Research:

Market research was performed by the SEC CALM Team in January and February of

2016. The research was conducted by reviewing information on the Internet from various software sources, reviewing in-house information and searching Government contract vehicles including the General Services Administration (GSA), the Army Computer

Hardware Enterprise Software Solutions (CHESS), and the Enterprise Software Initiative

(ESI). A query of the manufacturer website was performed in an attempt to identify a list of resellers. SEC CALM received a sole-source letter from ESRI Inc. stating that ESRI is the sole-source provider for ESRI products. SEC CALM obtained a CHESS Statement of

Non-Availability, Number 216706752. The below table provides a summary of the companies contract identified as part of the market research.
