INTRODUCTION

1.3 BACKGROUND

(U) The FBI protects US citizens from terrorist attacks and violent crime as well as foreign intelligence operations, espionage, civil rights violations, public corruption, criminal organizations and enterprises, and white-collar crime. The FBI Laboratory Division provides forensic exploitation of evidence collected in support of criminal and national security investigations. The Laboratory Intelligence Unit (LIU) provides analysis of forensic exploitation to address the requirements of the FBI and the United States Intelligence Community (USIC). Additionally, the FBI’s Laboratory Division has recovered and seized improvised explosives devices (IEDs) and related materials from the Department of Defense (DoD) for forensic and technical analysis in support of the ongoing war on terrorism. Subsequently, in December 2004 the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), located in Huntsville, Alabama, was formally established and given the mission of forensically and technically exploiting for evidentiary, investigative and intelligence purposes IEDs used by terrorists.

(U) Intelligence is often a key element in the development of effective strategies for FBI investigations. The FBI LIU has a requirement to provide timely, all-source strategic, tactical, and raw intelligence and investigative leads related to all facets of Laboratory exploitation. This includes analysis of improvised explosive devices, facilitators, and supply chains, to support TEDAC partners, law enforcement, the USIC, and foreign partners, when necessary, in the detection, identification, and assessment of individuals associated with fabricating and placing terrorist explosive devices and providing material support to IED networks around the world.

(U) As such, the FBI has a need for trained intelligence analysts to assist in responding to requests for information from the US Government and partner agencies, producing intelligence products for dissemination to the USIC and foreign partners and helping to identify potential leads for FBI investigations.

(U) The FBI develops a number of raw and tactical analytical products, reports, briefs, and other deliverables to inform, plan, facilitate, and execute operational and investigative strategies in an effort to mitigate threats to the Homeland or US interests overseas.

1.4 OBJECTIVES

(U) The Objective of this requirement is to provide operational intelligence services in direct support of the FBI Laboratory Intelligence Unit by conducting bulk and targeted exploitation, intelligence, and data analyses to be disseminated to FBI and USIC customers as appropriate.

(U) FBI LIU seeks support services to provide raw intelligence, tactical analysis, and operational analysis, as appropriate, to support LIU’s intelligence functions and analytical needs, in furtherance of FBI investigations and operations. Analytical functions include data exploitation, tactical analysis, raw intelligence, as well as threat and targeting analysis, as appropriate.

2 SCOPE

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

(U) LIU shall ensure that the Contract Intelligence Analysts providing the labor hours possess the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary to address the applicable analytical tradecraft, investigative, and operational standards required by the FBI’s Domestic Investigative and Operations Guide (DIOG), the Intelligence Program Policy Guide (IPPG), and applicable Directorate of Intelligence (DI) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Intelligence functions may require enhanced analytical exploitation and analysis and may rely on additional SOPs as needed.

2.1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
