About this file
This is a Single Source Justification Form submitted by the State Attorney's Office (SAO), a division of the City of Jacksonville, Florida, requesting a sole-source procurement award to Cellebrite for annual maintenance and upgrades to the Pathfinder investigative software program. The SAO originally purchased Pathfinder several years ago as an investigative tool and requires ongoing annual maintenance and upgrades to maintain the software's effectiveness. The request was submitted on August 20, 2026. No specific contract term, renewal options, response dates, or bid meetings are identified in this justification document.
The justification establishes that Cellebrite is the sole vendor capable of providing the required maintenance and upgrade services, as Pathfinder is a proprietary Cellebrite product with no alternative vendors available to perform these services. The form confirms that market research was conducted by Chris King, IT Director, and that no actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest exist regarding this single-source award. A supplier quote is referenced as supporting documentation but is not included in the file provided. No pricing information, funding sources, or contract amounts are disclosed in the justification form.
