About this opportunity
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency has awarded a sole-source contract to Gartner, Inc. for research subscription licenses on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.103-1 authority, with the award dated September 1, 2026.
DTRA justified the sole-source action on the basis that only Gartner provides the required level of quality and specialization. The procurement includes three Executive Program licenses and one 40-person Research license to support enterprise-wide IT planning and execution of information technology service delivery. The Executive Program licenses provide dedicated, tailored support for senior IT leadership (CIOs, CTOs) with strategic outlooks, forecasting, and access to a global network of over 12,000 executive peers; the Research license grants 40 staff members comprehensive access to Gartner's core IT research, white papers, methodologies including the Magic Quadrant, and expert analyst inquiries. DTRA's market research determined that competitors lack Gartner's volume of over 1,280 Research Analysts, extensive executive network, and corporate viability focus. Gartner's proprietary Magic Quadrant and vendor viability assessments function as industry standards. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated cost fair and reasonable when evaluated against the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative Blanket Purchase Agreement for Gartner licenses. The subscription term is one year. Place of performance is Stamford, Connecticut. DTRA will continue surveying the market annually to determine whether alternative sources should be considered for future subscriptions.
