Magnet Forensics, LLC

Magnet Forensics, LLC is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Roswell, Georgia that specializes in providing advanced digital forensics software solutions and mobile device forensic tools to federal law enforcement and government agencies. The company's core mission centers on enabling federal agencies to extract, analyze, and investigate digital evidence from locked and unlocked mobile devices to support criminal investigations, cybersecurity operations, and digital evidence collection. Magnet Forensics offers a comprehensive suite of proprietary digital forensics products including its flagship GrayKey tool, Magnet Axiom, Magnet Witness, Magnet Griffeye, and Magnet Review software, which collectively serve as critical technologies for federal law enforcement's investigative capabilities. The company has established itself as a primary vendor in the federal digital forensics marketplace, with an extensive contracting history across multiple federal agencies and departments.

Through federal prime contracts, Magnet Forensics has received substantial funding for its mobile device forensic software licenses, renewals, and related services. The company's prime contract awards span multiple federal agencies including the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Attorney's Offices, Customs and Border Protection, Internal Revenue Service, Department of State, Department of Justice components, and numerous other civilian federal agencies. The company has received numerous firm fixed-price purchase orders ranging from approximately $3,000 to over $8.4 million, as well as several significant definitive contracts valued at millions of dollars with ultimate completion dates extending through 2030. Notable large prime contracts include a $12.06 million award from the U.S. Secret Service for software licenses, renewals, and units; a $3.81 million award from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for software licenses; an $8.44 million award from the Federal Bureau of Investigation for GrayKey licenses; and a $2.95 million award from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for mobile device forensic software with a closeout modification. Products and services delivered through these contracts include GrayKey licenses in various configurations (Offline, Mobile, Premier, Essential, and Advanced versions), Magnet Axiom bundles and advanced software licenses, Magnet Witness software for digital surveillance system forensic examinations, Magnet Griffeye enterprise subscriptions, Magnet Automate software bundles, hardware units, training services, certification programs, and specialized forensic capabilities. The company has also served as a subcontractor on federal contracts, including engagements with prime contractors Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC, HII Mission Technologies Corp, Amentum Technology Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corporation, providing GrayKey licenses, Magnet Axiom software, and related digital forensics products. Magnet Forensics' contracts have not utilized small business set-aside designations with one exception—a single purchase order from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security designated as "Total Small Business." The company's contracting relationships reflect its position as the primary vendor for mobile device forensic tools across federal law enforcement.

Through federal grant sub-awards, Magnet Forensics has provided digital forensic software and services to state-level law enforcement agencies through the federal grant system. The company received three federal grant sub-awards through the Arkansas State Police as the prime grantee, with awards dated July 10, 2023, January 12, 2023, and December 16, 2021. These sub-grants appear to be associated with federal grant programs focused on law enforcement digital forensics capabilities, including what may be references to Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) initiatives and other federal law enforcement support programs. While the specific dollar values and detailed descriptions of the grant sub-awards are limited in the available documentation, these grants indicate that Magnet Forensics serves not only federal agencies but also supports state and local law enforcement through federal grant funding mechanisms. The sub-grant awards demonstrate the company's role in expanding access to advanced digital forensics capabilities beyond the federal government to state law enforcement partners, consistent with broader federal initiatives to strengthen law enforcement's digital investigation capabilities at multiple levels of government.
