This is a Sole Source Justification document for the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (CONOPS NATIONAL), under GSAR 538.7104-3(2).

The National Park Service seeks to procure an integrated hardware-to-software ecosystem solution to support Federal law enforcement operations for the United States Park Police. The Government requires a Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS) that provides end-to-end capabilities for evidence management from capture through case resolution. The justification identifies Axon Enterprise as the sole capable vendor, citing its fully integrated body worn camera and conducted energy device system as the only solution meeting the Government's specialized requirements. Axon Evidence operates as a FedRAMP High-authorized cloud-native Software-as-a-Service platform hosted on Microsoft Azure Government infrastructure, featuring encryption in transit and at rest using CJIS and NIST-aligned standards, support for multiple ingestion methods including Body Worn Cameras and TASER energy weapons, and capabilities for evidence management, reduction features, auto-transcribe, search, and evidence sharing. The justification references GSA Multiple Award Schedules (MAS) 334310, 518210C, and 332999 as available "required use" contracts fulfilling RFO FAR 8.104 requirements for use of existing contracts and Executive Order 14271. The procurement supports lifecycle replacement of hardware and renewal of digital evidence management solutions and aligns with Executive Orders 14252 and 14333, DOI Policy 446 DM 41, and USPP General Order 80.00, which mandate that all law enforcement officers carrying firearms and engaged in patrol activities must carry and utilize body worn camera equipment.
