About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has awarded a sole-source contract to Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) for ArcGIS mapping software, spatial analytics technology, maintenance, training, and embedded technical support services on a limited sources justification basis, with an estimated total value of $68.5 million.
The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B) on the basis that ArcGIS is proprietary technology and ESRI is the only source capable of meeting the Government's requirements. Market research completed May 21, 2025 confirmed no viable alternatives exist; switching vendors would require substantial system re-architecture costing over $200 million in additional engineering efforts and create unacceptable mission delays. The requirement sustains and enhances Geospatial Intelligence capabilities of the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF DCGS) weapon system and consolidates the 363d Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing under a single enterprise agreement to achieve cost savings and operational efficiencies. The period of performance runs from July 28, 2026 through July 27, 2031, structured as a 12-month base period plus four 12-month option periods on a Firm Fixed Price basis. The contract is placed against existing GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract GS35F253CA (contracting activity AFLCMC/C3IAK). Funding is drawn from Operations & Maintenance 3400, Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation 3600, and Air National Guard 3840 appropriations. The Competition Advocate approved this action on February 27, 2026.
Notice text
The Government requires a comprehensive enterprise solution to sustain and enhance the Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) capabilities of the AF DCGS weapon system and the 363d Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Wing (ISRW). This requirement includes proprietary ESRI ArcGIS software licenses, annual maintenance for ongoing support and software updates, specialized training courses for system operators and analysts, and on-site Embedded Innovation Engineer (EIE) services for expert technical support and integration. This contract will support the AF DCGS and, for the first time, consolidate the 363d ISRW under a single enterprise agreement to achieve cost savings and operational efficiencies. The total estimated value of this requirement is $68.5M, funded with a mix of Operations & Maintenance 3400, Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation 3600, and Air National Guard 3840 appropriations.
This requirement is estimated to be $68.5M based on a Rough Order Magnitude from ESRI and a Cost Team Estimate time phased summary provided through the Acquisition Strategy Plan.
Awarded contract FA852726FB024 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-07-28.
