About this file
This document is a Single Source Justification (SSJ) for a 1-year license renewal of a Cellebrite Premium machine for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) at the US Embassy in Asuncion, Paraguay. The procurement involves a $63,021 license renewal for a Cellebrite machine (Serial No. 365412371) with Premium Service offering unlimited iOS and Android capabilities. The justification for sole source procurement is based on urgency, existing equipment continuity, and the high cost and operational disruption of replacing the current system.
The license renewal is critical to maintaining ongoing investigative capabilities, as switching to new equipment would require extensive personnel retraining and potentially compromise existing data and investigation workflows. The procurement is being conducted by the Department of State, with the contract anticipated to be awarded on 2025-04-16 under contract number 19PA1025P0089. The sole source justification is processed under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) per Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), with approvals from the Certification Program Office Coordinator Iman Khozouee and Contracting Officer Anthony Y. Sung.

2. A description of the supplies or services required (including estimated value).
The requirement is to provide a 1-year license for Cellebrite Premium for Cellebrite machine with Serial No. 365412371. The estimated value for the entire period of performance is $ 63,021, including options. These supplies/services require that

Officer has deemed only one source reasonably available based on the following:

4. Supporting information and facts.
This justification is for a request of a 1-year license renewal for a Cellebrite Premium machine that is currently in use. The alternative to renewing the Cellebrite license will be very costly, since a new set of equipment will be required, and will affect the workflow and efficiency given the that personnel will need to be trained from scratch on the new equipment and systems.
