A15 - Sole Source FInal_Redacted.pdf

This Sole Source Justification (SSJ) document is for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), seeking to issue a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Purchase Order to NTREPID LLC for managed attribution/integrated evidence collection services. The services involve providing a virtual environment with masked/backstopped Internet provider addresses and browser attributes to obscure identity and prevent activity tracking, along with advanced security, managed attribution, and enhanced evidence collection capabilities.

The contract period is from 9/14/2025 to 3/13/2026, with NTREPID LLC currently performing under an existing contract. The DEA conducted market research involving thirteen vendors and determined a small business set-aside competition among four identified vendors (Authentic8, Ridgeline, Thundercat, and Ntrepid) would be in the government's best interest. The government intends to make an award in February/March 2026, with the total estimated contract value redacted in the document. The procurement is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures for commercial products and services greater than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) but not exceeding $7.5 million.
