Magnet AXIOM Advanced

The West Virginia Department of Homeland Security, Division of Administrative Services, is soliciting quotes for four renewal licenses of Magnet AXIOM Advanced Software under ARFQ MAP2700000002, with bids due October 9, 2026 at 11:00 AM EST and questions due October 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST.

This is a one-time purchase of renewal licenses for the 12-month period September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2026, serving the West Virginia Fusion Center. The procurement requires four units (Item #6AX210) covering four specified devices identified by serial numbers B202105120006790, B202105120003257, B202105120001578, and B201705120010539. The current license has expired, making this a renewal rather than a new acquisition.

The required software must deliver digital forensics capabilities including recovery of deleted data, analysis of digital evidence from mobile devices, computers, cloud sources, and vehicles within a single case file; mobile device extraction with direct Magnet Graykey integration; automated decryption using tokens and keychains; illicit-content detection; event visualization across evidentiary sources with timelines; data filtering by date/time ranges and keywords; digital forensics lab request submission; and real-time team collaboration functionality. Vendors may propose equivalent products meeting these specifications.

Award will be made to the vendor offering the lowest overall total cost. Pricing must be submitted on the state-provided Exhibit A Pricing Page; alternate pricing formats will result in bid disqualification. Vendors must complete the Pricing Page in its entirety and acknowledge receipt of all addenda. Addendum 1 was issued October 5, 2026 and must be acknowledged with the bid. Selected vendors must designate a primary contract manager available during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST) and provide quarterly reports and annual summaries detailing items purchased, quantities, and dollar values. Payment is made in arrears upon receipt of proper invoices. Vendors must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and comply with West Virginia licensing and registration requirements prior to award. No incumbent, estimated contract value, or funding source is disclosed. Contact Wassef Maazaoui at 304-558-9093 or wassef.maazaoui@wv.gov.
