About this opportunity
The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a GSA task order to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (ESRI) for the establishment and maintenance of enterprise geographic information system capabilities. This special notice was posted on March 5, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 13, 2026. The procurement is being conducted under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 152(3) and FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B), which permits sole source contracting when supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. ESRI is the incumbent contractor currently providing time-and-materials services to NGA under existing call orders for vector-cartographic production and analysis geographic information system support. This notice is published in accordance with FAR 5.2 requirements and is not a request for competitive proposals.
The task order will enable NGA to acquire professional services and establish an Enterprise Geographic Information System Platform as a Service (eGIS PaaS) to consolidate individually provisioned GIS capabilities onto a unified platform capable of hosting both ESRI-based and non-ESRI-based software solutions. The anticipated period of performance consists of one 12-month base year followed by four 12-month option years. While the Government has determined that ESRI is the sole source capable of meeting the unique technical requirements, responsible sources may identify their interest and capabilities by the March 13, 2026 deadline; however, the Government retains sole discretion to proceed with the sole source award and will not reimburse costs incurred by interested parties responding to this notice. This procurement falls under the Custom Computer Programming Services NAICS category and the IT and Telecom Platform as a Service PSC category.
