The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Buenos Aires Country Office Vetted Unit (VU) intends to sole source a Cellebrite training and certification contract for mobile forensics equipment and digital forensics training.

The specific procurement involves a Cellebrite Certification Course for 11 VU members, estimated to cost $46,075.00, with a performance period from 06/23/2025 to 06/27/2025.

The training is crucial for proper equipment utilization and provides valuable certifications for judicial proceedings in Argentina. The procurement will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the DAC Number D-25-SO-0003, and the contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available to supply the required services.
