About this file
This document is a Special Notice of Intent to Award to a Sole Source for a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) requirement. The USFWS intends to award a firm fixed price contract to Magnet Forensics LLC to provide a cloud software application that allows agents to securely and remotely review a subset of acquired digital evidence in order to identify items of evidentiary value. The software application will work with Magnet Axiom and Cellebrite tools, and will allow authentication using PIV cards through Login.gov. This is a sole source procurement due to Magnet Forensics being the only known provider that meets the agency's requirements without substantial added costs. Interested parties may respond within 10 calendar days to demonstrate their capability to compete, but the government retains discretion on whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures for requirements up to $250,000.

FWS Form (Rev. 2020) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
JOINT ADMINISTRATIVE OPERATIONS
Acquisitions Operations
In DERTSU review no other capable sources exist for the intial implementation and purchase of Magnet Review Platform Cloud.
Currently, no other known applications contain a review platform without substantial added costs.
Magnet Review platform is designed to work with results sets generated by Magnet Axiom, the primary computer forensic examination tool used at the DERTSU, as well as those generated by Cellebrite Physical Analyzer, the primary mobile device examination tool used at the DERTSU. It allows case agents and prosecutors in the field to review results sets and collaborate with the DERTSU examiner in determining items of interest and ultimately finalizing relevant results for use in investigations and preparation for trial.
Magnet Axiom Review Platform Cloud is an application that will run in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Microsoft Azure Cloud environment as a review tool that allows case agents and prosecutors the ability to securely review case data from forensic acquisitions of digital evidence (e.g. computers, mobile devices, and search warrant returns). Furthermore, it will allow authentication utilizing existing PIV cards through Login.gov.
Currently, the only method to alleviate barriers to competition for subsequent acquisitions is to reevaluate other vendors on a yearly basis to determine if additional capabilities are added.
Furthemore, future purchases may not require sole soucing as they will be license renewals rather than initial implementation.
