STATEMENT OF WORK

License Plate Reader IDIQ

For the

Directorate of Intelligence

Section C - Statement of Work

May 11, 2026

1 Scope

This is a contract to establish an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) for purchase of Internet/Cyber Security Data Subscriptions on a Task Order (TO) basis to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Directorate of Intelligence in support of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) / Social Media searches and processing from License Plate Reader (LPR) tools or their data, to identify multiple investigative threats and use cases, and meet the needs of a diverse Open Source Intelligence user base in accordance with law, regulation, and policy.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction

This is a non-personal services contract. The Government must not exercise any supervision or control over contractor employees performing the services herein. Such contract service providers must be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the

Government.

This SOW describes the full range of the FBI's information requirements for law enforcement and commercial LPR data. No single contractor is expected to meet all data requirements defined in Section 3. However, each contractor must identify which datatypes and datasets it can provide and at what price. Contractors must certify that the information provided is lawfully obtained and not under contestation by federal, regional, state or local legal processes.

Contractors must address all items listed and specify which ones will be provided in response to search requests by FBI users.

1.2 Background

The FBI’s mission is to “Protect the American People and Uphold the Constitution of the United

States” and this mission is core to all that we do as an organization. Through this mission, the

FBI's priorities are to prevent and reduce violent crime, defend the homeland, rebuild public trust, and maintain fierce organizational accountability. The Directorate of Intelligence (DI) of the FBI manages the Public Source Program (PSP), providing tools and training to assist

Headquarters Divisions and Field Offices in conducting lawful research and searches against

Commercially Available Data (CAI) and Publicly Available Information (PAI), which includes

Social Media data that is publicly available. The DI PSP also ensures users complete privacy and civil liberties legal training to perform open-source searches in accordance with applicable federal laws, regulations, and policy. One major type of Open-Source data that the PSP works with is License Plate Readers (LPRs).

The growing use of the internet has created significant opportunities for people to create, share, and exchange information, but also opportunities for threat actors to engage in a variety of criminal activities. As access to virtual mediums is increasing and diversifying, terrorists, violent extremists, malicious cyber actors, and foreign adversaries take advantage by having greater opportunities to make criminal threats, traffic individuals and drugs, commit fraud, and execute cyberattacks. Estimates show that approximately 5.24 billion people worldwide use social media in some fashion, which is 64% of the total population. Identifying threat-related data relevant to an authorized law enforcement purpose can be challenging. However, efficiently identifying, organizing, and analyzing lawfully collected PAI and CAI data is paramount to preventing, investigating, and defeating threats to our nation and American interests abroad. Tools that capture such relevant information are important in helping the FBI solve the complexities of this multifaceted problem.

To evaluate and manage threats to personal safety, property, and law enforcement, the FBI requires professional service firms that can provide License Plate Readers (LPRs) for tracking subjects on roads and highways over the US and its territories. This request must be satisfied by

Software as a Service (SaaS), by FBI users logging into a Contractor website for the FBI enterprise.

The FBI has a crucial need for accessible LPRs to provide a diverse and reliable range of collections across the United States. This data should be available across major highways and in an array of locations for maximum usefulness to law enforcement. For this reason, one LPR tool will not meet the requirement, and the FBI will create an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity

(IDIQ) contract providing various tools with different coverage for which TO’s can be placed against with requirements specific to the end-user need. More detailed requirements are found below. In all cases, the FBI is seeking new and cutting-edge capabilities in these systems.

This acquisition strategy is a multi-award IDIQ to allow for various LPR tools that have coverage in different geographic areas of the US and its territories, as well as tools that meet the needs of different investigations in accordance with law, regulation, and policy. The FBI intends to develop a storefront of approved LPR tools. The FBI reserves the right to single award each

Contract Line Item (CLIN) contained within this contract.

2 Applicable Documents

None

3 Requirements

This SOW describes the full range of the FBI's information requirements for law enforcement and commercial LPR data. For each of the CLINs outlined below in Table A – CLIN Structure, the requirements in Section 3.0 must be provided as part of the proposed solution for each region.

The FBI requests professional service providers with expertise in LPR data and software to include publicly available and commercially available information platform offerings. This request is to assist the FBI in having the ability to acquire and utilize LPR data in a system with rich capabilities.

The ability to segment and customize LPR data collection capabilities is important for tools to align with authorized law enforcement usage. More detailed requirements are found below.

The FBI also requests capabilities that may be new or cutting-edge and which add value to the

FBI.

The Contractor's License Plate Reader (LPR) system must have the ability for the user to enter search criteria to include license plate information, and other descriptive data such as vehicle description information, time/date criteria, and geo-location criteria. Additionally, the system must provide search result notifications. The Contractor system must have the ability to access and/or query cameras across the United States and its territories. The Contractor system must be capable of providing this data in near real time.

• Intelligence Analysts

• Management and Program Analysts

• Special Agents

• Tactical Specialists

If the Contractor is charging for transactions per month, all database transactions performed as a part of any training must be included in the package cost. The FBI will not assume any cost for testing new or existing products and/or solutions. Holders of newly created accounts must receive initial training when gaining access to credentials to the tool.

3.9 Helpdesk

The Contractor must maintain a Helpdesk for access issues or other system problems, and the

Helpdesk must be familiar with the sensitivities of government and law enforcement. A specific mailbox to address the need for assistance, as well as a phone number to call, must be created by the contractor ensuring that requests be acknowledged within a specified timeframe. All emails/calls must be received/reviewed/responded to by CONUS personnel from a Helpdesk located in the United States of America (USA).

The Helpdesk and / or POC must be available 24/7 for on-call issues. The response must be within 10 minutes of the FBI user reaching out for help.

When seeking assistance, the FBI PSP program will gather information about the problem from the user(s) and contact the Contractor Helpdesk for solutions. The FBI must be assured of the confidentiality of their queries, of safety in disclosing the location of the office asking for help, and of the legitimacy of the call recipient. Furthermore, a designated POC from the contractor, serving as the main POC representative of the Contractor, must also be assigned to this contract as support for overarching matters pertaining to the contract as well as the coordination of system-to-system and/or alerting support. If the Helpdesk is unable to assist, this POC must be the first escalation point.

3.10 User Account Management

Each TO issued under this IDIQ will stipulate requirements outlining one or all the number of users, number of accounts required, or number of queries. The tool proposed must be robust enough to handle the required number of accounts for FBI usage for a given TO.

For pricing, if the tool is not offered with a full Enterprise License, then the FBI requests Tiered licensing structure. The coverage required must be logical based on the Field Office Area of

Responsibility (AOR). In addition to Field Offices, at least 4 Headquarters divisions also must receive accounts. These licensing requirements must be flexible when there are major nationwide events.

To support the effort of creating accounts, the Contractor must provide account and username management tools to the FBI. Since users span across all 56 FBI Field Offices and Resident

Agencies as well as HQ Divisions, the monitoring of accounts must require two levels of administrative rights outlined below.

• Public Source Program Coordinators (PSPC): The contractor must provide five (5) administrative accounts to the FBI, to be maintained at the FBI program level, that will allow for the creation, deletion, and maintenance of accounts and supporting of local account administrators. In case of emergency, administrative POCs can generate and maintain user accounts on behalf of a field office/division with no designated or available Local User Administrators. These POCs will also facilitate the transfer of users from one field office to the next.

Administrative accounts must allow for the internal query of user accounts at each level.

The PSPCs must be able to generate a list of the existing administrative accounts (from both PSPCs and Local User Administrators) that must display full name, account status, username, Field Office/Division, and last login at minimum.

• Local User Administrator (less than 300 total): The Contractor must provide user account management capability for local FBI account administrators to create, suspend/disable user accounts, reset user account passwords, view all accounts with associated account information (active or inactive), and generate user account reports that must display full name, user ID, email and last login date and must be exportable to

MS Excel or CSV.

• Service-to-Service Accounts: The Government requires Service-to-Service (S-to-S)
