Sole Source Justification Summary

This is a Sole Source Justification for Simplified Acquisitions document prepared by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisition Management, justifying procurement from Hexordia, LLC on a non-competitive basis.

ICE seeks to procure Hexordia's "IoT Forensics: Examining Smart Devices" training course through a new, firm-fixed-price purchase order to support the Advanced Computer Evidence Recovery Training (ACERT) program. The requirement consists of three four-day training courses to be delivered at locations and dates coordinated by ICE's Commercial Facility Provider during Fiscal Year 2026. The contract value is not fully disclosed due to redactions, though the pricing table identifies multiple line items (CLINs 0001-0005) for the Hexordia Internet of Things course and travel support. The training provides in-depth exploration of Internet of Things forensics, covering IoT technologies, hardware components, firmware, network protocols, and device-level acquisition techniques with emphasis on practical application through hands-on labs and a final comprehensive forensic examination exercise.

Hexordia, LLC (9262 Shore Lawn Drive, Bridgeport, New York 13030) is identified as the sole provider capable of delivering the required training because it is the only company offering this specific proprietary IoT forensics curriculum at the required quality level. The justification cites that Hexordia does not use authorized resellers or distributors, and alternative vendors evaluated during market research did not provide comparable depth of coverage for the multi-agency environment. A notice of intent was posted on SAM.gov on June 8, 2026 with a June 10, 2026 closing date; no parties expressed interest. The Contracting Officer determined the anticipated price to be fair and reasonable based on market research and historical pricing from previous purchases.
