DLT Solutions announced that it was awarded a DoD Enterprise Software Initiative Blanket Purchase Agreement (ESI BPA) for Autodesk software products. The contract has a three-year base period with two 1-year options and will allow all DoD components access to dozens of Autodesk CAD (Computer Aided Design), BIM (Building Information Modeling) and 3D software solutions at a discount structure of up to 10 percent off GSA schedule pricing.
Autodesk develops a broad portfolio of 3D software for global markets. Autodesk applications streamline the design-to-manufacture process of components and sub-assemblies needed to fulfill and maintain critical systems equipment.
“Already an Autodesk Master Government Reseller, this contract is a significant win for us and our partner, Autodesk, and builds upon DLT’s already strong presence in DoD ESI as one of their leading resellers,” said Rick Marcotte, president and CEO of DLT Solutions.
The DoD ESI is an official DoD initiative sponsored by the DoD CIO to lead in the establishment and management of enterprise Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) IT agreements, assets and policies. DoD ESI lowers the total cost of ownership across the DoD, Coast Guard and Intelligence Communities for commercial software, IT hardware and services.
