This document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for 3500 Series HID Data Collection Software v4.0.1. The Federal Bureau of Investigation Laboratory Division requires the 3500 Series HID Data Collection Software v4.0.1 to interface with its ThermoFisher 3500xL Genetic Analyzer used for analyzing DNA profiles related to criminal investigations. Life Technologies is the sole manufacturer and distributor of this software version in North America, as confirmed by its sole-source letter. Market research found no alternative software programs that are compatible with Thermo Fisher instrumentation besides outdated versions. The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation number DJA-23-ALAB-PR-0142 from the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives to acquire a license for one copy of the 3500 Series HID Data Collection Software v4.0.1.
