About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Headquarters Division is seeking Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools and services to collect Publicly Available Information (PAI) and Commercially Available Information (CAI) from internet and social media platforms. The agency intends to establish an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract targeting two vendor categories: major open-source system providers with broad internet search capabilities and specialized niche providers with focused data source capabilities. Key tool requirements include user-friendly interfaces, real-time alerts within 10 minutes, geospatial search functionality, foreign language translation, advanced AI/ML analytics, and managed attribution features to protect user identity. Vendors must be US-based companies, with facility clearances preferred for major system providers. Critical deadlines include questions due by January 13, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST, and complete RFI responses limited to 15 pages due by January 27, 2025.
The procurement has no specific set-aside designations and currently involves incumbent contractors CMA (contract 15F06721P0002431) and PCI Tec (contract 15F06722C0000258). While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the IDIQ contract structure suggests potential for multiple awards across the two vendor categories. The tools must be accessible on unclassified networks, preferably meeting FedRAMP standards, and capable of searching major social media platforms including foreign sites. Foreign-owned companies can participate if their U.S. subsidiary can operate independently, and the FBI requires flexible alert delivery methods including platform notifications, text, and email. The agency explicitly notes that this RFI does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract, maintaining flexibility in their procurement approach.
