Sole Manufacturer Letter (2026-05-22).docx.pdf

This is a Sole Manufacturer Letter from Magnet Forensics supporting a sole source authorization request by the Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Idaho State Police. The procurement seeks digital forensic software licenses, specifically AXIOM, Graykey, and Witness products from Magnet Forensics. The sole source justification is based on the determination that Magnet Forensics is the only vendor qualified to provide these specific digital forensic tools. The notice was published pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-9221, and interested vendors have five business days after the closing date of the IPRO Notice to file a challenge to this sole source procurement in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-9232(4). Challenges should be submitted to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov.

The letter substantiates the manufacturer's position as the sole qualified provider for the requested software licenses. No specific pricing, contract term, renewal options, or award dates are detailed in this document, as it serves primarily to support the administrative determination that competition is not available for these particular digital forensic products. The procurement represents Idaho State Police's need for specialized forensic investigation capabilities that Magnet Forensics uniquely provides.
