Description
I. OVERVIEW & INTENDED SOURCE
HQUSOCOM intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract under the authority of RFO Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services) and RFO Part 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures).

ESRI, 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373
UEI: WUK9A5UR33S7
II. REQUIREMENT DESCRIPTION

Total Estimated Value: $249,782.56
Period of Performance: September 16, 2026 - September 15, 2027

III. SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION & RATIONALE
The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of RFO 13.106-1(b)(1). ESRI is the only source capable of satisfying this requirement because:
Failure to award this action directly to ESRI will result in severe operational disruption to SOCOM's geographic situational awareness. Utilizing non-certified third-party contractors introduces significant technical risk, potential system incompatibility, and would void enterprise support agreements, ultimately delaying mission-critical intelligence-sharing capabilities.
ESRI is the sole source for ESRI Advantage Program services. These services require intimate knowledge of the customer’s ArcGIS install base, customer GIS requirements, and provide corporate planning services. Expert installation, configuration, and workflow of intricate ArcGIS products requires the insight that only ESRI can provide about their own products
