Attachment 4- Redacted Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Office of Acquisition Management seeks to procure Cellebrite products and services for the Cyber and Operational Technology (C3) Center's digital forensics investigations. Specifically, the government requires Universal Forensic Extraction Devices (UFEDs) and related services to perform logical, file system, physical, and password data extraction for mobile electronic devices.

The procurement is a firm fixed-price contract with Cellebrite, Inc. for a base period from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2026. The justification cites Cellebrite as the only brand product/service meeting the government's unique forensic investigation requirements, with no equivalent alternative tools available. On July 29, 2025, ICE sent a Request for Information to potential vendors, with four vendors expressing interest and three submitting estimates. The contract will be posted on SAM.gov, allowing Cellebrite and its resellers to provide quotes, with the agency continuing to conduct market research to identify emerging forensic technologies.
