About this opportunity
The Department of State Office of Acquisition Management awarded a sole-source contract to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for ArcGIS software licenses and maintenance subscriptions supporting the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Bureau's geospatial intelligence analysis and cartographic production capabilities on March 10, 2026.
The justification rests on ESRI being the only geospatial software provider approved on the TS/SCI fabric with exclusive federal product contracts and no third-party resale capability. The acquisition also depends on CIA's Commercial Cloud Enterprise (C2E) IDIQ contract for cloud computing services and geospatial APIs, available to Intelligence Community agencies including INR. The requirement was deemed unsuitable for small business set-aside due to the absence of competitive offers from responsible small business concerns meeting fair market price, quality, and delivery standards. This constitutes a license renewal, so market research was not conducted. The contracting officer determined the single-source approach represents best value under FAR 8.405, contingent on the resultant price evaluation as reasonable. The period of performance runs 12 months from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 under a Firm-Fixed-Price contract structure. The contract is awarded under the General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) program as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).
