This document is a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) from the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for a contract to acquire Cellebrite Inseyets Ultimate and Unlimited software licenses. The procurement is for a base year and 3 twelve-month option years, with a total estimated cost of $2,064,830.32. Cellebrite Inc. is identified as the only manufacturer of this specific software, which provides unique capabilities for law enforcement sensitive data extraction, including consolidation, unlocking, extraction, automation, decoding, parsing, examination, reporting, and management capabilities.

The sole source contract will be awarded to Cellebrite Inc. located in Vienna, VA, without seeking competition. The justification highlights that Cellebrite maintains exclusive agreements with mobile device manufacturers and has proprietary methods for accessing encrypted or locked devices. A notice of intent to sole source was placed on www.sam.gov on September 19, 2025, and the contracting officer determined the anticipated price will be fair and reasonable based on historical pricing and comparison to the Independent Government Cost Estimate. CBP Air and Marine Operations continues to seek to remove barriers to value-enhancing competition but notes no alternative sources are available to fulfill this specific requirement.
