FBI CJIS IT Professional Environment RFI

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division has issued a Request for Information to gather market research on creating a unified IT professional environment that will standardize environments and toolsets across approximately 10 current self-managed project environments. The FBI seeks a cloud-native solution hosted on AWS or Azure GovCloud that supports software development, system administration, security engineering, and testing across multiple programming languages including Java, Python, Node, Perl, C++, and C#, with integration capabilities for industry-standard tools like Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. Key requirements include compliance with Executive Order 14028 requiring Software Bills of Materials, adherence to FBI AI ethics guidelines, implementation of role-based access controls, and maintenance of cybersecurity standards using DISA STIGs as baseline. The evaluation will focus on technical capabilities evidence without requiring past performance information, and the environment must support the entire development lifecycle while accommodating both remote and on-site work. Vendors must submit questions by September 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET in Excel format, with responses due by September 29, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET in Microsoft Word or PDF format, limited to 30 pages and submitted to hnice@fbi.gov.

This opportunity has no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The RFI does not specify award values or budget ranges, as this is strictly a market research exercise rather than a solicitation for services, with the FBI explicitly stating that no funds are available to pay for response preparation. The unified environment is intended to serve approximately 400 users including administrators, testers, and developers across the various CJIS project environments. Responses must be double-spaced in Times New Roman font and should include capability packages along with informal market research pricing information. The contracting point of contact is Haley Ice at the FBI Finance and Facilities Division, located at 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV, 26306. The RFI emphasizes flexibility in toolsets and AI assistant usage while maintaining strict compliance with federal cybersecurity and ethical guidelines.
