Forensic Genetic Genealogy

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a statutorily mandated 15-business day advertisement of its intent to enter into a single source procurement for DNA genetic genealogy, DNA phenotyping, and kinship inference analysis services from Parabon NanoLabs, Inc. FDLE requires these services to assist in forensic investigations and solve cold cases where DNA evidence is available. The services, which must be provided for the period of November 15, 2023 to November 14, 2024, include Parabon's Snapshot Advance DNA Analysis Service, which offers unique capabilities such as genetic morphology description, mixture deconvolution, and kinship analysis up to the 9th-degree familial relationship. Parabon is the sole source for these services, as they are the creator and owner of the Snapshot Advance DNA Analysis Service, and have no authorized resellers. The estimated dollar amount for the procurement is $80,000.

This is a sole source procurement, and FDLE is the sole requestor for these services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as Parabon is the only vendor capable of providing the required services. Additionally, there are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract award value is estimated at $80,000.
