This document is an Award Notice for a sole-source federal contract for Gartner subscription licenses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded a contract to Gartner, Inc. on March 29, 2024 for $5,117,742.50. The award was not competitively bid because Gartner is the sole provider of the Research & Advisory subscription licenses required to maintain the CDC's existing infrastructure and essential functionalities. Market research indicated that Gartner is the only authorized manufacturer of the necessary brand-name subscription licenses available on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle. Changing to another vendor would require a major redesign and additional costs for the government, as well as significant disruptions to the services presently provided at the CDC.
