The intended sole source vendor is Gladiator Forensics, LLC, located at 100 Rialto Place, Suite 605, Melbourne, Florida 32901.

The agency asserts that no comparable product exists with equivalent capabilities. The purchase was approved by Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Mike Duffey, Special Agent in Charge.
