FY26 OLE Digital Evidence Software/Recovery Equipment Small Purchase w/ Spec Conditions

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is conducting a small purchase procurement with sole source conditions for FY26 OLE Digital Evidence Software/Recovery Equipment. The procurement seeks to renew a software and recovery equipment subscription from Cellebrite Inc., which includes Inseyets Online Pro, Inseyets Pro UFED Subscription, Inseyets Pro PA Subscription, Inseyets Online Limited Unlocks (40 units), and Smart Translator single language translation service. The contract term is one year, running from May 17, 2026, through May 16, 2027. The deliverables encompass digital evidence software access and recovery equipment capabilities designed to support the state's operational and law enforcement needs. The procurement was posted on February 2, 2026, with a due date of February 5, 2026, providing a compressed three-day response window. The quoted vendor, Cellebrite Inc., submitted its pricing through a quote dated October 7, 2025, which was validated for accuracy and submission by the IDNR Procurement Administrator on January 28, 2026.

This procurement is restricted to Cellebrite Inc., the sole source vendor, reflecting a continuation of an existing software arrangement rather than an open competitive bidding process. The justification for the sole source designation centers on the vendor's established relationship with IDNR and the specialized nature of the digital evidence software platform, which requires continuity of service and integrated technology infrastructure. Cellebrite is the incumbent vendor maintaining the current system and subscription arrangements that support the state's operational requirements. The total contract value is $22,449.00 USD for the one-year renewal period, with no additional shipping, handling, or sales tax charges applied. Payment terms are Net 30 days, and the contract is subject to regulatory approval. No renewal options are identified in the available documentation, suggesting this procurement represents a single-year commitment requiring future renewal evaluations.
