About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a Notice of Intent on August 17, 2026, to negotiate a sole-source, one-year, firm-fixed-price contract with Gentueri, Inc., for GenPouch Custom multi-barrier, tape closure envelopes, with responses due by August 27, 2026. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 (Only One Responsible Source) because only Gentueri's product meets the Federal DNA Database Unit's specific technical specifications—interior dimensions of at least 3 inches by 3.125 inches, exterior dimensions not exceeding 4.5 inches by 3.75 inches, see-through visibility on the long side, foil backing only on the short side, and tape closure—while meeting the required six to eight-week lead time. The FDDU requires these envelopes to store and process DNA samples from federal convicted offenders, federal arrestees, and non-US citizen detainees; sample volume has tripled due to a Department of Homeland Security initiative, causing urgent depletion of existing stock. Interested parties must submit capability statements via email only to Contracting Officer Bryan Lane at bvlane@fbi.gov, including their Unique Entity ID and business size, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government. The FBI has awarded prior purchase orders to Gentueri in January 2020, May 2023, and April 2025 for the same product. Gentueri, Inc., a small business located in Verona, Wisconsin, holds CAGE Code 7BL81. NAICS 334516 and PSC 6640 apply.
