About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), under the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) of Redlands, California. This Special Notice, posted on March 19, 2026, announces NRL's intention to procure an ArcGIS Pro Standard single-use perpetual license without competing bids. The procurement will be executed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 13.106-1(b), given the estimated contract value does not exceed the $250,000 simplified acquisition threshold. The notice is classified under NAICS code 519210 (Libraries and Archives) and Federal Supply Code R605 (Support-Administrative: Library). Interested parties are invited to submit evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, allowing NRL to retain discretion over whether to pursue a competitive process.
The primary objective of this notice is to inform potential contractors of NRL's sole source intent while providing an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate the merits of competitive procurement. The deadline for submitting clear and convincing evidence of competitive advantage is March 21, 2026, just two days after the notice posting. All correspondence must reference Notice of Intent number N00173-26-Q-1301342732. Eligible parties are those capable of providing substantive evidence that competition would benefit the Government; however, no reimbursement will be provided for any capability information submissions. While this is a single-line-item procurement for one ArcGIS Pro Standard license, the notice process provides an avenue for other vendors to formally challenge the sole source determination before the Government makes its final award decision.
