Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), Inc. - Licensing and Support

The contract pertains to the licensing and support services for Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), Inc., specifically under solicitation number SS-09143, issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The agency emphasizes that this is not a solicitation for bids or proposals, as it believes the services or commodities are only obtainable from a single source. Interested vendors are required to submit written information demonstrating their capability to supply the specified products or services by June 11, 2024, at 10:00 AM ET. The contract, with an estimated value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, is intended to ensure the vendor's ability to perform reliably and in good faith, complying with all relevant laws and regulations, including Chapter 287 of Florida Statutes. The core scope involves licensing and support for ESRI's geographic information system (GIS) software, which is critical for the agency’s operations. The procurement process underscores the importance of vendor capability and integrity, as the selected contractor must fully meet the contract requirements. Supporting documentation indicates that similar single-source acquisitions involve specialized, proprietary systems such as Teledyne FLIR aerial camera systems, which are also justified on the basis of sole-source availability due to manufacturer exclusivity. The contract aims to bolster the agency’s operational efficiency in environmental management and law enforcement activities through reliable GIS support and licensing services.
