The Office of Administration, Information Technology Services Division (OA-ITSD), requires statewide ESRI Advantage Program (AP) services to assist with ESRI licenses, providing ESRI advanced level training, assist with ESRI software upgrades, and other ESRI services, consulting services, premium technical support services and/or cloud hosting services directly from Esri. ESRI is the single feasible source to meet the specific needs of the above state agencies. Esri software, which is owned maintained, and supported by Esri, is the state standard for Geographic Information System (GIS) software for Missouri state agencies. Esri is the sole source for the purchase of the software products and services listed in the Enterprise Agreement price list since the Esri Enterprise Agreement and the packaged broad-based support program are proprietary to Esri. According to RSMo 34.044, a single feasible source can be utilized when the product/service requirement is proprietary and only available from a single provider. As a result, this represents a proprietary requirement that meets the criteria as a single feasible source under RSMo 34.044 and the State is pursuing acquisition of the required Esri Advantage Program as a Single Feasible Source. Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification.
