About this award
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives awarded a purchase order to Manthei-Mess-Systeme for CartwinPro 4 software licenses and maintenance support on August 1, 2026, with a ceiling value of $51,594.00. Performance occurs in Kaufering, Germany; ultimate completion is July 31, 2027.
The order covers one new CartwinPro 4 license for installation on 26 computers and renewal of maintenance support for 28 existing licenses. CartwinPro 4 is a Microsoft Windows-based forensic tool for firearms and toolmarks analysis containing over 30,700 ammunition headstamp entries with supporting images. Manthei-Mess-Systeme is the sole worldwide provider; no U.S.-based resellers exist. The Bureau justified sole-source award under 41 U.S. Code 3304, having determined through market research that the FBI's Reference Ammunition File lacks CartwinPro's proprietary search algorithms and sufficient exhibits for ATF operational requirements. Pricing was determined fair and reasonable through comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate and historical award data.
