RFI - CJIS Decentralized Info Sharing

The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services Division is requesting information on capabilities to enable a national decentralized information sharing environment that allows states to analyze and share data from Computer-Aided Dispatch, Law Enforcement Records Management Systems, and other criminal justice and public safety information systems without uploading data into a centralized national repository, with responses due June 12, 2026.

This is market research; the government does not intend to award a contract, and responses are not offers and cannot form binding contracts. Respondents must describe a decentralized architecture in which each state creates its own state-level node for intrastate data integration and interstate information sharing while maintaining dissemination controls. The solution must integrate with state Uniform Crime Reporting programs, implement industry standard techniques in heterogeneous environments, perform analytics on state-level data sets, publish APIs for investigative community access and event subscriptions, merge knowledge graphs from multiple states, and communicate with a national-level node that serves as a centralized analytical tool and integrates with the National Crime Information Center.

Submissions are limited to 15 one-sided pages, 12-point font, one-inch margins, in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF format. Respondents must include capability packages and informal budgetary pricing covering licensing structure, implementation, and maintenance support. Questions must be submitted by May 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time; answers will be posted via SAM.gov by May 29, 2026. Submissions must be emailed by June 12, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time to Brandon James at bmjames@fbi.gov with subject line "RFI- CJIS Decentralized Info Sharing." The government will not reimburse response costs, and this RFI is open to all qualified manufacturers.
