We are currently evaluating the use of Ada 2005 functionality in our
projects. Are there any compiler manufacturers besides AdaCore's GNAT
that support Ada 2005? Further, is Ada 2005 an official standard at
this point in time?

Thank you.

I think Aonix had a writeup on a recent trade magazine where they
recently talked about starting to add support for for at least some Ada
2005 features.

Greenhills has said that none of their customers have asked for it where
none is defined as just me and apparently some customers in Europe. If
people don't ask, it will not happen. So, if you are considering them as
a vendor, I'd recommend asking and then considering all aspects of what
the vendors offer and vote with your money and select a vendor that at
least shows some level of commitment to the features you find important.

IBM (third hand) has indicated that some work is being done on Ada 2005
for the Rational Ada developer tools but I have not seen anything on
their website or trade magazines.

As far as I know the standard is still not fully official. The technical
features have been approved. Not sure what is taking ISO so long to get
it out the door at this point.

Yes, it is official. ISO published Amendment 1 on 2007-03-09:

Do you find the remarks on AdaMulti in the Wikibook informative?
Should something be added?

Yes..Something should be added. Perhaps I'll add to it at some point.

Thanks. I had not looked carefully since January and since nothing had
been posted here (at least that I saw) and nothing was on AdaIC I
assumed it was still unpublished.
