The Esri Advantage Program

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) issued a Notice of Intended Decision to Enter into a Single Source Contract for the Esri Advantage Program on May 8, 2026, with a response deadline of May 13, 2026. This procurement, classified under commodity codes 81111805 (Proprietary or licensed systems maintenance or support) and 81112200 (Software maintenance and support), is intended to award Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) as the sole source provider. The Esri Advantage Program is a collaborative engagement designed to provide FDOT with geospatial expertise and services to support enterprise-wide geospatial strategy development and execution at the statewide level. Key deliverables include enterprise-wide visioning and geospatial enablement through technical advisory services, annual planning meetings, collaboratively developed technical work plans, access to exclusive quarterly technology webcasts, consulting services, premium support, and training services for all software implemented through the Department's Enterprise Agreement for ArcGIS Software. The program aims to support the implementation of the latest software solutions across the enterprise, with FDOT justifying the single source determination by establishing that Esri, as the owner and manufacturer, is the sole source provider of this packaged broad-based support program model, while some individual products may be available through value-added resellers on a unit-priced basis. The primary contact for this procurement is Jocelyn Moore at the Department's Office of Geographic Information Systems, with internal tracking number DOT-SS-26-9078-JM.

This is a single source procurement with no competitive bidding process, meaning only Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) is eligible to respond, with no set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises applicable to this award. The contract does not specify a contract term or renewal options in the available documentation. The intended award value for this procurement is $272,150.00 to Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri), representing the total contract cost for the Esri Advantage Program services. The procurement requires integration with FDOT's existing Enterprise Agreement for ArcGIS Software, indicating that the selected vendor must work within the Department's current geospatial technology infrastructure. No incumbent vendor information beyond Esri is provided, as this is a sole source award determination based on Esri's exclusive ownership and manufacture of the Advantage Program offering.
