About this opportunity

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has issued a sole-source justification for a firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with Forensic Technology (Canada) Inc. for the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) program. The contract will provide specialized ballistic investigation equipment, including BRASSTRAX and BULLETTRAX 3D acquisition stations, correlation servers, and mobile IBIS equipment to support 342 NIBIN sites representing over 10,000 law enforcement agencies. ATF is awarding the contract to Forensic Technology Canada as the sole source provider due to their proprietary IBIS technology, which they have exclusively developed since 1992 and is critical to maintaining a database of over 6.7 million ballistic evidence pieces and 95 million images. The contract structure includes a one-year base period with four additional one-year options, and a minimum guaranteed value of $1,000 for the base period. Market research, including industry days and a Sources Sought notice, confirmed that no other vendors can provide compatible equipment or maintain the necessary interoperability with federal, state, local, and international law enforcement partners.
