The Federal Bureau of Investigation awarded an indefinite-delivery, multiple-award IDIQ contract for specialized open-source intelligence tools to Bow Wave LLC on September 30, 2026, with a ceiling value of $500 and an ultimate completion date of March 29, 2032. This is a total small business set-aside; Bow Wave LLC is an SBA-certified HUBZone firm and service-disabled veteran-owned small business.
Place of performance is Washington, DC. The IDIQ procures Software-as-a-Service delivery of specialized OSINT tools across eleven categories: financial and banking information, deep and dark web sources, US and international business information, vehicle history and technical information, historical internet data, terrorism-related information, image and video information, identity records, and property and land records. All tools must be delivered via Chrome and Edge browsers with no installation on FBI computers, with 24/7 system availability, FedRAMP moderate-impact certification or equivalent 256-bit encryption, 24/7 helpdesk support with five-minute response acknowledgment, Section 508 accessibility compliance, anonymity protections, multi-format data export, comprehensive training with closed captioning, and monthly status reporting. Facial recognition and mobile advertising ID capabilities are prohibited.
The base period runs one year, followed by four 12-month option years and a six-month extension. The Government guarantees each awardee a minimum of $500 per contract year. NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) applies. Up to two contractors were selected per Contract Line Item Number across the eleven CLINs. Task orders are competed among awardees under lowest-price-technically-acceptable procedures, with tiered pricing applied to future orders (tiers ranging from 2 to 501-plus licenses).
