Built for Competitive Advantage.

GovCIO Outlook names InfoBase Publishers with its DACIS offering as the Federal Competitive Intelligence company of 2026.

In federal contracting, finding an opportunity is only the beginning. Winning requires a deeper understanding of the competitive landscape—who's involved, where funding is headed, how programs have evolved, and which relationships can shape the outcome.

For three decades, DACIS, a product of InfoBase Publishers, Inc., has helped organizations navigate these complexities by transforming government contracting data into actionable competitive intelligence.

Now, GovCIO Outlook has recognized us as its 2026 Federal Technology Competitive Intelligence Company of the Year, highlighting the DACIS platform's ability to connect contracts, companies, programs, budgets, and historical performance into a more complete picture of the federal marketplace.

Knowing About an Opportunity Isn't Enough.

The GovCIO Outlook cover story highlights a fundamental challenge facing companies competing for federal business: success requires more than identifying and pursuing opportunities—it demands the competitive intelligence needed to position an organization to win.

That observation goes to the heart of DACIS's value. Federal business development teams need more than lists of solicitations and contract awards. They need to understand the relationships between agencies, programs, incumbent contractors, subcontractors, funding priorities, and acquisition histories.

DACIS connects these critical elements, helping companies develop informed strategies before committing valuable resources to a pursuit.
