About this file
This is a Single Source Justification form (FWS Form 3-0034) submitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a purchase under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
The acquisition is for a cellular phone-based application that provides investigative agents with a government-owned phone number to record incoming and outgoing communications. The application must enable agents to monitor consensual phone calls with cooperating witnesses and investigative targets, and include a web interface for reviewing and downloading evidence. Market research was conducted through analysis of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company capabilities, communication with other federal law enforcement agencies, and attendance at the National Technical Investigators' Association conference. The justification identifies Callyo as the only vendor offering a viable option meeting the specific requirements. The document establishes that no comparable alternatives exist and that Callyo is the sole provider capable of delivering the exact requirements needed. Fair and reasonable pricing was determined based on previous awards for this service. Both the Program/Project Officer (James Golden, dated February 2, 2026) and the Contracting Officer (Melissa Niemi, dated April 27, 2026) have certified and approved the use of sole source acquisition procedures under FAR Part 13.
