ESRI Geographic Information System Software Licenses

The state of Florida's Office of Broadband is seeking to procure ESRI Geographic Information System (GIS) software licenses and associated tools to track the significant number of new broadband infrastructure projects that will be funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The goal is to establish an initial base map identifying current broadband access, which will then be updated as projects are approved and completed to ensure there are no duplicate areas of coverage while verifying that new areas proposed are not already served by an internet service provider. This will allow the Florida Broadband Office to maintain the most current and up-to-date broadband deployment map possible. The contract term is for 1 year from May 2024 to April 2025, with an estimated dollar amount of $345,961.00 for the ESRI Enterprise Advantage Program (EEAP), associated training credits, and mapping tools. The single source justification is that ESRI's products and services are proprietary in nature and exclusively owned, operated, and licensed by ESRI, Inc.

This contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is ESRI, Inc., as their proprietary software provides the necessary tools and capabilities for the Florida Broadband Office to effectively operate and manage the broadband mapping and deployment efforts. The total available budget for this contract is not explicitly stated, but the estimated dollar amount of $345,961.00 provides an indicative range.
