Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Forensic Software

The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Acquisitions (OAQ), has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source firm-fixed price purchase order to GetData, located in Manhattan Beach, California. The notice was posted on February 4, 2026, and indicates that ICE intends to execute this award on or before March 16, 2026, utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 13.5 procedures for simplified acquisitions. The procurement falls under the Information Technology and Telecom category, specifically for Business Application Software with perpetual licensing rights. This Notice of Intent is being published to provide transparency regarding ICE's contracting intentions prior to award, as required by federal acquisition regulations.

The sole source award to GetData is justified on the basis that no resellers, distributors, or alternative supplies or services exist that can satisfy the specific requirements of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The deadline for interested parties to submit questions or concerns is February 16, 2026, though this notice is informational rather than a competitive solicitation opportunity. Because the requirement is classified as Law Enforcement Sensitive, the full Sole Source Justification will not be publicly disclosed; only a redacted version will be posted in accordance with FAR 13.501(a)(i)(iii). Other federal contractors and vendors are not eligible to compete for this procurement, as the award is restricted to the single source contractor identified. Interested parties with concerns about this sole source determination should contact the designated point of contact listed in the government's notice.
