Collaborative Public Safety Solution

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division issued a Request for Information (RFI) numbered CJIS31126 on March 11, 2026, seeking industry input on a Collaborative Public Safety Solution designed to improve information sharing and operational coordination across federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and international public safety partners. The solution must deliver secure, CJIS-compliant data exchange capabilities integrated into a unified platform with flexible digital workspaces, customizable data collection, real-time communication, incident management, and AI-enabled user assistance. Key technical requirements include a consolidated user interface meeting Section 508 accessibility standards, audio/video conferencing supporting 1,000 simultaneous sessions, personnel accountability with sub-second location tracking, 99.99% system availability, and hosting on a single FedRAMP-approved government cloud platform compliant with NIST and CJIS security policies. The RFI does not specify formal evaluation criteria as this is market research rather than a competitive procurement; responses must not exceed 10 pages and should include company information, capability statements, technical evidence, GSA Schedule status if applicable, and a Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimate for a five-year lifecycle. The submission deadline is March 31, 2026, and this RFI is non-binding with no funding available for proposal preparation costs.

This is an RFI with no set-aside designation and no identified incumbent contractors. The government has not announced a specific award value or budget range for this market research phase; however, respondents must provide a Rough Order of Magnitude estimate for a five-year lifecycle covering detailed assumptions, pricing models, scalability considerations, and deployment approach. The RFI seeks to establish market understanding and technical feasibility for a unified public safety collaboration platform that would ultimately serve multiple federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies, indicating a potentially substantial future procurement once requirements are finalized through this information-gathering process.
