About this opportunity

The procurement, awarded to AVP SISTEMAS S.A. on July 23, 2025, includes two InsEYEts Online Pro UFED PA licenses with unlimited extractions, one InsEYEts Online license with 150 limited unlocks, one Oxygen Forensic Detective license, training for eight personnel, and 24/7 specialized technical support for a 12-month period. The sole source award is justified under FAR 6.302-1 because AVP SISTEMAS S.A. is certified by Cellebrite Ltda. as the exclusive authorized distributor of Cellebrite products and services in Ecuador, with market research confirming no other vendors are authorized to provide these specialized forensic tools. The contract supports INL's mission to strengthen law enforcement capabilities in Ecuador, particularly for combating transnational crime and drug trafficking operations.
