**Buyer:** Virginia Contracting Activity
**Posted:** September 30, 2026

**NAICS:** 541519, 533110, 541990

DIA is planning a brand-name, sole-source purchase of Gartner research subscription licenses through the Virginia Contracting Activity.
- **Procurement approach:** The justification describes an intended firm-fixed-price order to Gartner, Inc. under Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) BPA N66001-19-A-0049; this is a justification notice, not an award announcement.
- **Product:** Role-based commercial research subscription licenses providing access to Gartner’s research library, decision tools, benchmarking data, and standard analyst inquiries.
- **Coverage:** Enterprise IT, cybersecurity, data and AI, infrastructure and operations, IT operating models, and sourcing and cost optimization. Named tools include Magic Quadrant, Critical Capabilities, Hype Cycle, and IT Key Metrics.
- **Quantity and price:** The license quantity and price are missing or obscured in the available document.
- **Sole-source rationale:** The justification cites Gartner’s proprietary research methodologies, breadth of coverage, and TOP SECRET facility clearance.
- **Performance period:** A five-year period beginning in September 2026 is described, with options referenced; the end date and option-period details are not available. Fixed pricing for all option periods would be established at award.
