FY19 - CID Forensic Recovery of Evidence System

The procurement opportunity solicits proposals for the provision of forensic recovery of evidence devices and workstation laptops for law enforcement agencies in Illinois, Michigan, and potentially New York. The requested items include an initial quantity of 200 forensic recovery devices and 200 forensic recovery workstation laptops, with potential for additional purchases over a 3 to 5-year contract term. The devices and laptops must meet detailed technical specifications to support digital evidence collection and processing. Responses are due by March 15, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, with mandatory or non-mandatory bidder conferences scheduled prior to the due dates. Contracts are expected to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, with deliveries required within 60 days of contract award.

The Michigan procurement is set aside for small businesses, while the New York and Illinois opportunities do not specify any set-aside designations. The incumbent provider for the Michigan workstation laptop procurement is ABC Forensics. Funding for the contracts will be provided through state criminal justice technology grant programs and general operating budgets, with an estimated total contract value of $1.2 million for the Michigan workstation laptop procurement over the 5-year term.
