Gartner Licenses

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division is conducting market research under a Sources Sought Notice to evaluate the feasibility of a sole source award to Gartner, Inc. for digital subscription licenses supporting IT research, advisory services, and digital transformation initiatives across the Department of Defense. The requirement is for five years of Gartner license access, structured with one base year and four one-year option periods, covering 1 CDAOs Executive Leader, 5 CDAOs Executive Advisors, 25 Gartner Technical Professionals, 1 Enterprise IT Leadership Team Leader, and 5 Advisor Members. These licenses provide continuous access to over 98,000 research documents and advisory tools focused on software development, Model-Based Systems Engineering, cloud-native systems, unmanned vessel monitoring, and IT strategy. The procurement is classified as a non-competitive, sole source action under FAR 5.207(a), and responses are solicited from eligible small businesses including HUBZone, 8(a), and SDVOSB entities to confirm that no viable competitors exist. Interested parties must submit a Capability Statement by June 30, 2026, including company name, address, point of contact, CAGE code, business size, county, and DUNS number via email; no telephone inquiries are accepted. The contract will be performed remotely with no physical delivery, and all access is electronic. The contractor must maintain a SECRET facility clearance and ensure personnel hold TOP SECRET clearances to handle Controlled Unclassified Information and classified materials in compliance with Operations Security protocols. Authorization as an official Gartner reseller or distributor is mandatory, and no pricing details are disclosed as the notice serves only as a market research tool—not a solicitation or binding commitment. The place of performance is designated as Norco, California, and all correspondence must be directed through the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, DC. No packaging, marking, inspection criteria, evaluation factors, or payment details are included, as the notice is preparatory in nature and does not constitute a formal contract award.
