FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)) SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

NFFKAE30-20-02059

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Acquisition and Grants Office (AGO), OLE, Field Delegate Susan Henderson

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value). Software renewal for Cellebrite

3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

Cellebrite Inc., 7 Campus Drive, Ste. 210, Parsippany, New Jersey, 07054. Tel. # (201) 848-9982

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Brand Name – This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. Item(s) peculiar to one manufacturer (including brand name) Cellebrite’s Universal Forensic Extraction software offers a unique design for law enforcement officials working on criminal or civil investigations. The software is a high performance solution for investigators to extract and decode digital evidence from mobile devices including smartphones, legacy phone, portable GPSs and handheld tablets. UFED Software is proprietary and is a unique product manufactured by Cellebrite.

BRAND NAME

Cellebrite is the leading provider of digital intelligence solutions. Unlike other cell phone extraction tools, it provides unrivaled access to evidence from locked or encrypted mobile devices. Consistently, Cellebrite extracts more data from cell phones than any other software. It allows three levels of data extraction; logical, physical, and file system. This is very important to NOAA OLE as other cell phone tools will only allow logical extraction. Cellebrite will break or bypass passcode locked android devices running on Android 7.0. There is no other equal tool on the market today. Therefore, Cellebrite is a Name Brand Only requirement for NOAA OLE.

5. Market Research.

We obtained bids from both the manufacturer and the only distributor listed in GSAAdvantage.gov. No other sources are available that are on the GSA system pricing. We conducted online searches for any/all small businesses, which would meet our requirements. None were found.

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification

I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
