Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.

Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., doing business as Esri, is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Redlands, California, that serves as the leading provider of geographic information system (GIS) software and spatial analytics technology to the federal government. Registered in SAM.gov since April 2, 2002, Esri specializes in developing and delivering its flagship ArcGIS platform and related geospatial solutions that enable government agencies to visualize, analyze, and manage complex spatial data for mission-critical applications. The company maintains an extensive federal contract portfolio spanning civilian and defense sectors, supporting diverse government missions including environmental monitoring, emergency response, infrastructure planning, and national security operations.

Esri has demonstrated substantial federal contracting activity through numerous prime contract awards and established indefinite delivery vehicles, delivering comprehensive GIS software licensing, geospatial data hosting, consulting, training, and technical support services across multiple federal agencies. The company's delivery order contracts span civilian agencies including the Department of Interior, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration, as well as defense agencies including the Department of the Army, Department of the Navy, Department of the Air Force, and U.S. Coast Guard. Prime contract awards have covered ArcGIS software maintenance and support services, enterprise license agreements, annual subscription renewals, software training programs, and specialized consulting services such as geospatial infrastructure development and application migration support. Notable recent awards include a $69.2 million contract with the U.S. Marine Corps for ESRI software and training passes, an $11.5 million award from the Department of Veterans Affairs for an ArcGIS Enterprise Agreement, and a $12.65 million delivery order from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for GIS capability development and implementation. Additionally, Esri has received substantial BPA call orders from agencies including the U.S. Census Bureau (with a $4.2 million award), the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection, and various military commands for ArcGIS subscriptions, licenses, and professional services. The company has also performed as a subcontractor to major defense contractors including Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics Information Technology, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Peraton, providing GIS software, technical support, and professional services in support of broader government initiatives. All prime contract awards have been made without set-aside designations, reflecting Esri's competitive positioning in the federal marketplace.

Esri's federal grant award activity has been limited compared to its extensive contract portfolio, with sub-grant awards reflecting the company's involvement in specialized geospatial initiatives. The company received a sub-grant award dated June 8, 2022, through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment related to a tracking program's Experience Builder application development and enhancement, and a more recent sub-grant award dated September 19, 2025, through the Department of Agriculture Nevada supporting the Nevada Native Seed Partnership coalition's work on seed selection and land management applications using GIS technology. These grant-related engagements demonstrate Esri's participation in environmental and agricultural resource management initiatives that leverage geospatial analysis capabilities to support state and federal conservation objectives.

Esri maintains three significant Blanket Purchase Agreements established under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle that have generated substantial federal agency task orders. The largest IDV is a $99 million BPA awarded by the Department of the Army with a completion date of February 20, 2029, which provides access to ArcGIS software licenses, geospatial data hosting, consulting, training, and technical support services to the Army and other federal agencies through multiple delivery orders and BPA calls. A second major IDV consists of a $75 million BPA awarded by the U.S. Census Bureau extending through September 29, 2029, for GIS mapping software subscriptions and ancillary services that has generated multiple significant calls including a $4.2 million award for GIS software and licenses and a $2.7 million delivery order for ArcGIS software maintenance. The third principal IDV is a $5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement awarded by the National Park Service with a completion date of July 31, 2029, providing an enterprise license agreement for GIS software, support, and maintenance services for the NPS GIS Program at the National Interagency Fire Center. These IDVs have facilitated extensive task order activity across the federal government, enabling streamlined procurement of Esri's commercial off-the-shelf GIS platforms and related services that support mission-critical applications ranging from wildland fire management and environmental monitoring to emergency response coordination and infrastructure planning across civilian, defense, and independent agencies.
