Defense Intelligence Agency

The Defense Intelligence Agency, a major command within the Department of Defense, procures intelligence analysis support, information technology services, financial operations, and specialized systems to enable its worldwide intelligence mission. DIA's contract activity rolls up awards made by the agency and its subordinate contracting offices, including the Virginia Contracting Activity.

DIA has made 16,857 federal contract awards since 1996, with a combined award potential value of $2.8 billion and combined dollars obligated of $7.4 billion. Recent award volume has declined sharply: 24 awards in 2021, 30 in 2022, 53 in 2023, 6 in 2024, and 1 year-to-date in 2025, with the most recently recorded award dated May 30, 2025. The portfolio spans 2,452 distinct prime contractors. Set-asides are minimal—94 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation; small-business awards (including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB) account for roughly 5 percent of the portfolio combined.

Competitive concentration among primes is highly fragmented. The top five contractors by award count over the last five years hold 27 percent of recent awards: Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees (12 awards), New TECH Solutions Inc. (6 awards), Thermo Electron North America LLC (4 awards), Government Scientific Source Inc. (4 awards), and Government Acquisitions Inc. (3 awards)—largely small-value awards with combined potential value not exceeding $1.8 million across the five. By potential value, coverage is even lower at 0 percent; the highest-value recent winners include Advanced Technology International ($6 million across 2 awards), Transparent Language Inc. ($1.1 million across 2 awards), and Thermo Electron North America LLC ($921 thousand across 4 awards). The long tail of awards reflects DIA's reliance on task orders, BPA calls, and below-threshold purchases with limited reported dollar value.

Recent contract opportunities span financial operations, IT infrastructure, and mission-support services. The Virginia Contracting Activity has posted pre-solicitation RFIs for Financial Accounting & Reporting Services (due June 30, 2026), Audit Remediation Services (due June 30, 2026), and Risk Management and Internal Control Support Services (due June 30, 2026), all seeking qualified contractors to support the Office of the Comptroller. Active solicitations include IDEA Data Analysis Software Acquisition (due July 15, 2026), requesting IDEA licenses and support with proven production-ready solutions; Data Science, Operations, Requirements, Exploitation, and Enhanced Engineering (DORE3) (due July 17, 2026), for architecture and development services; and PRISM Wireless Intrusion Detection System procurement (due June 24, 2026), a sole-source brand-name requirement to CACI Inc. (though all responsible sources may submit capability statements). DIA also posted a bundling determination notice (July 1, 2026) signaling intent to consolidate or bundle future requirements, and solicited market research on a next-generation AI-powered acquisition platform under Other Transaction Authority (due July 2, 2026).

DIA made 29 total grant awards between 2012 and 2018, with combined federal dollars obligated of $31.7 million across 22 distinct recipients. Grant activity ended in 2018 and no recent grant awards or grant opportunities are recorded. Project Grants accounted for 83 percent of awards; Formula Grants comprised the remainder.

The Defense Intelligence Agency provides defense intelligence to "provide a decision advantage to warfighters, planners, and policy makers."
