This is a Sole Source Justification document for a simplified acquisition by the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Acquisition Management. ICE seeks to procure V2 Forensic Drone Training from V2 Forensics Corporation (1517 29th Ave, Gulfport, MS 39501-2844) on a sole source basis without full and open competition. The contract type is a new, firm-fixed price (FFP) purchase order funded in Fiscal Year 2026.

The HSI Computer Forensics Program (CFP) requires V2 Forensics Discro Device Extraction and Decoding Training to support student participants in drone forensics examinations and field operations. The justification asserts that V2 Forensics is the only company capable of providing the required license and comprehensive training on V2 Forensics Discro for Unmanned Aircraft Systems evidence extraction and analysis. The training covers live UAV system acquisition, non-destructive data capture techniques, automated database parsing, decoding of raw artifacts, and maintains chain of custody using radio frequency shielding solutions. Market research conducted between February and May 2026 found insufficient competitors in the specialized field of drone forensics. The justification emphasizes that no other training program offers comparable breadth of inventory assessment capabilities and that failure to conduct this training would compromise the availability of examiners for drone extractions and jeopardize ongoing investigations. The contracting officer determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable based on market research and historical pricing data.
