- Description
- The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of the Inspector General (OIG) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Panamerica Computers, Inc. (PCI Tec), utilizing a Federal Supply Schedule order procurement tool for a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract. The purpose of this FFP contract is to establish a task/delivery order that will continue to provide the DOJ OIG the ability to access Graykey Licenses. The licenses allow for DOJ OIG digital forensic specialists and investigators to unlock or access iOS and Android mobile devices and acquire forensically-sound images. The NAICS code for this contract action is 513210 - Software Publishers (SBA Size Standard: $47.0 Million). The Product Service Code for this action DA10 - IT and Telecom - Business Application/Application Development Software as A Service. Based on market research, the DOJ OIG has deemed that the items for the requirement being sought will need to be procured through an authorized reseller of Magnet Forensics. It is in the best interest of the DOJ OIG to procure Magnet Forensics products due to the requirement needing to be compatible with currently utilized licenses. Acquiring Magnet Forensics products offers the opportunity to procure the requirement without the OIG experiencing delays in investigations and substantial duplication of costs related to warranties, repairs, maintenance, etc. to new and existing supplies that could not be expected to be recovered through competition. PCi Tec is an authorized reseller of Magnet Forensics, as well as certified HUBZONE small business under NAICS 513210. It is recommended that the requirement be procured via a HUBZONE sole-source Federal Supply Schedule order, utilizing authority found in FAR 6.302-5(b)(5) and 8.405-6 (a)(1)(B). This notice of intent is not a request for quotations. Any party who believes they can fulfil this requirement should provide a capabilities statement no later than Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 4:00 pm ET. The capabilities statement must provide clear and unambiguous evidence to substantiate the capability of the party to provide the required supply/service. A determination not to compete this proposed contract upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Verbal responses are not acceptable and will not be considered. When responding to this announcement, respondents should refer to Announcement 15G1AC25N00000006. If by Saturday, June 28, 2025, no viable responses have been received in response to this announcement, DOJ OIG shall negotiate solely with PCi Tec. Any prospective contractor must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) in order to be eligible for award. Interested parties are encouraged to furnish information. All documents submitted will not be returned. All interested parties shall submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their capabilities to satisfy the requirements listed above to Contracting Officer, Johao Stewart by email at johao.stewart@usdoj.gov. The capability documentation should include general information and specific technical background describing in detail the prospective contractor's capabilities and experience that will demonstrate the ability to support these requirements, including proof of training and certification for performing service support for Magnet Forensics manufactured equipment and/or services, as well as an authorized distributor letter from Magnet Forensics should be submitted if you are not the manufacturer.
