This is a Sole Source Justification (J&A) form for a simplified acquisition under ICE Acquisition Manual 3006.301-90.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management (OAQ) is procuring a firm-fixed price delivery order for CameraForensics Tactical software-as-a-service (SaaS) from CameraForensics, LTD (located at Runway East, 1 Victoria Street, Bristol, BS1 6AA, United Kingdom). The acquisition amount is $114,972.91. The justification cites "only one source reasonably available" as the rationale for sole source procurement. The acquisition supports the Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) Cyber Crimes Center (C3) Child Exploitation Investigations Unit (CEIU), which provides child exploitation investigations and forensics examinations. The CameraForensics Tactical license is identified as a robust and mission-critical solution unique to CEIU's investigative needs, and the justification states this process is unique to CameraForensics and requires sole source acquisition.

For price analysis, the contracting officer used comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases. The CameraForensics Tactical add-on was quoted at $114,972.91, representing a $7.37 (3.92%) increase per license from the previous year. The contracting officer approved the justification on September 9, 2026.
