Mobile Data Extraction Devices

The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), Bureau of Criminal Investigations is conducting a procurement for mobile data extraction technology, specifically seeking one Cellebrite UFED Touch Ultimate Standard device and one Cellebrite UFED Touch Ultimate Software Renewal. The solicitation, identified by Solicitation Number 6100037771, covers specialized forensic technology for digital evidence extraction and is targeted for delivery to the PA State Police Organized Crime location in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County. The procurement requires vendors to submit electronic bids through the PA Vendor Portal by April 1, 2016, at 1:00 PM, with bid opening scheduled for 1:01 PM the same day. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest unit pricing, with strict requirements that no product substitutions are permitted and bid prices must be submitted to two decimal points. The contract period will commence upon purchase order execution and terminate on October 31, 2016, with mandatory delivery of equipment by June 30, 2016.

The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must be registered with the Commonwealth and obtain a vendor number through the PA Supplier Portal. Potential bidders must comply with the Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements, which includes providing detailed information about manufacturing origins and potentially facing bid rejection if their home state prohibits out-of-state supplies. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the specifications suggest a technical requirement for vendors to provide exact matching of Cellebrite kit specifications without deviation. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a single device and software renewal, indicating a likely moderate-value contract. Vendors must carefully review all documentation, including the Solicitation Addendum, and attach it to their submission to avoid potential disqualification.
