About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for GrayKey Licenses from Panamerica Computers, Inc. (PCI Tec). The contract will be structured as a Firm Fixed-Price agreement utilizing the Federal Supply Schedule procurement tool under the HUBZone sole source set-aside program. The licenses are specialized digital forensic tools that enable DOJ OIG investigators and specialists to unlock and access iOS and Android mobile devices while acquiring forensically-sound images for investigative purposes. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47.0 million and PSC code DA10 for IT and Telecom business application software services. The DOJ OIG has determined that sole sourcing is justified due to compatibility requirements with existing systems and the need to avoid investigation delays and duplicated costs.
The Special Notice serves as a market research tool to identify any other potential contractors who might possess the capability to fulfill this specialized requirement before proceeding with the sole source award to PCI Tec. Interested parties must submit capabilities statements by Saturday, June 28, 2025 at 4:00 PM ET to Contracting Officer Johao Stewart via email, with written documentation being the only acceptable form of response. Prospective contractors must demonstrate their ability to provide Magnet Forensics products, including proof of training and certification for service support, and must submit an authorized distributor letter from Magnet Forensics if they are not the manufacturer. All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award consideration. If no viable responses are received by the deadline, the DOJ OIG will proceed with sole source negotiations with PCI Tec, the currently identified HUBZone-certified authorized reseller of Magnet Forensics products.

The purpose of this FFP contract is to establish a task/delivery order that will continue to provide the DOJ OIG the ability to access Graykey Licenses.
