Federal Bureau of Investigation

The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation, a civilian sub-agency under the Department of Justice, procures IT systems, facility services, training, equipment, and operational support across 56 field offices and headquarters locations nationwide. The FBI executes contracts through multiple procurement channels including sole-source negotiations, set-asides, and competitive solicitations on behalf of operational, investigative, and administrative missions.

The FBI awarded 91,964 federal contracts cumulatively since 1978, with combined potential value of $154.38 billion and $37.38 billion obligated to date. Recent award activity has declined: 2,383 awards in 2023, 1,917 in 2024, 1,631 in 2025, 1,406 in 2026, and 23 year-to-date in 2027. The most recent recorded award date is 2027-08-31.

Contract competition is highly fragmented. Thundercat Technology, LLC leads by award count with 513 awards and $605.1 million combined potential value over the last five years, followed by Teknion LLC (337 awards, $27.8 million) and Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. (211 awards, $36.7 million). The top five primes by award count hold 14 percent of recent awards; by potential value, the top five hold 1 percent. Thundercat dominates the by-value ranking; Fcn, Inc. ranks second with $341.5 million across 73 awards. The vast majority of contractors—13,928 distinct primes across the portfolio—transact at minimal scale, reflecting the FBI's reliance on distributed field-office procurement and small vendor engagement.

Set-aside usage is minimal. No set-aside accounts for 84 percent of awards (77,067). Small Business totals 14 percent (12,841 awards). 8(a) Sole Source comprises 1 percent (661 awards). All other set-asides—SDVOSB, Competitive 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone, and their sole-source variants—together account for less than 1 percent.

Recent contract opportunities span facility, IT, equipment, and tactical support. The FBI posted a Notice of Intent on 2026-10-21 to sole-source the Princeton Scientific DWS.100 System (due 2026-10-30). A pre-solicitation RFI for DNA Buccal Collection Kits (due 2026-11-16) seeks market research on laboratory supplies.

An industry day is scheduled for 2026-12-01 in Huntsville, Alabama, with registration opening 2026-10-13. Sole-source justifications posted in September 2026 include Defense Tactical Technical Training (MMA and specialized tactics), FALIT TRIO Laser System (Control Laser Corporation), Bloomberg Terminal Licenses (three licenses), and Counter IED/UAS Research (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business). The FBI is also conducting market research on food franchise operations in the J. Edgar Hoover Building (due 2026-11-07) and fitness center operations and maintenance at FBI Redstone (due 2026-10-13, small-business set-aside).
