About this file
This is a sole source justification letter from Gallup, Inc., addressed to an unnamed recipient and dated March 23, 2023, regarding the procurement of Gallup's Q12 employee engagement survey. The letter establishes that the Q12 survey is proprietary intellectual property wholly owned and exclusively distributed by Gallup, Inc., and cannot be obtained from any other source. The Q12 survey consists of 12 questions designed to measure employee engagement aspects that correlate with business outcomes, addressing basic employee needs, contribution opportunities, sense of belonging, and learning and growth potential. Gallup's employee engagement practice provides integrated solutions including research-based measurement, coursework, and strategic advisory services to improve workgroup and organizational performance.
The letter asserts that due to the proprietary trade secret information embedded in the Q12 survey methodology, Gallup qualifies as the sole source provider for this service and should be accepted as such in procurement proceedings. The letter is signed by Lisa B. Kiichler, Vice President-Law and Senior Counsel at Gallup, and provides contact information for inquiries regarding Gallup's sole source qualifications and process details. The correspondence serves as formal documentation supporting a sole source procurement determination for an unnamed contracting agency.

To Whom it May Concern:
This letter serves as a sole source letter to describe the Gallup’s Q12® survey, which is proprietary material developed by Gallup, Inc.
The Q12® survey is wholly owned by Gallup and not distributed through or provided by anyone but Gallup. Additionally, Gallup retains the exclusive rights in granting a license for use of its intellectual property.
The Q12® survey consists of 12 questions and Gallup has consistently found that these 12 items measure the aspects of employee engagement that link to business outcomes. Employees can become engaged when their basic needs are met and when they have a chance to contribute, a sense of belonging and opportunities to learn and grow. Gallup’s employee engagement practice offers integrated solutions that improve workgroup and organizational performance. These solutions include research-based measurement, coursework and strategic advisory services.
Because of the proprietary trade secret information involved in the Q12® survey, this type of service cannot be obtained from any other source and, therefore, Gallup should be accepted as a sole source provider.
If you have any questions about the Gallup process or Gallup’s qualifications to be a sole source provider, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours, LISA B. KIICHLER
