Technical Questions - Search Warrant Case Management System.docx

This is a technical questions document related to an IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) Request for Information (RFI) for a Search Warrant Case Management System. The document contains four basic questions asking potential vendors about recommended contracting strategies, device/software recommendations, technical features to consider, and cost estimates for a base year plus four option years.

The associated RFI describes requirements for a deployable kit containing approximately 10 handheld devices (Surface Pro tablets or Android phones), a central computing device, closed network equipment, printer, and label makers. The system must support on-premises deployment (no cloud solutions), enable evidence logging, photo/video capture, participant tracking, label printing, premises sketching, and automated data consolidation. Key technical requirements include AES 256 encryption, talk-to-text features, barcode creation/reading capabilities, PDF import/export functionality, JSON file export compatibility, and ability to operate both wirelessly and through hardwired connections. The IRS-CI is seeking an integrated solution that includes all hardware, software, and networking components as a comprehensive system.
