Magnet Forensics, LLC

Magnet Forensics, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Roswell, Georgia, sells digital forensics software and mobile device extraction tools to federal law enforcement and civilian agencies as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders and definitive contracts, accounting for 95% of its recent federal awards. The vendor does not carry SBA set-aside certifications and competes full-and-open across its federal footprint.

Magnet Forensics' core capability is mobile device forensic software—specifically GrayKey (a flagship tool enabling iOS and Android device extraction), Magnet Axiom (digital forensics platform), Magnet Witness (surveillance system forensics), and Magnet Griffeye (photo and video analysis). The vendor also delivers training and certification services for digital forensics personnel. Representative recent work includes a $24.2 million definitive contract with the U.S. Secret Service (awarded August 2025, covering software licenses and renewals through August 2030), a $2.95 million firm fixed-price order from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for mobile device forensic software (closed out September 2024), and a $2.88 million purchase order from the FBI for GrayKey Offline/Mobile Premier (awarded March 2025). The vendor also provides digital forensics software subscriptions and Magnet Axiom site licenses to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DC3) through Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC as a subcontractor.

Customer concentration sits heavily with federal law enforcement. The top five funding agencies account for 48% of recent awards by count but 86% of combined potential value—a significant divergence. The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Secret Service dominates by dollars (7 awards, $35.5 million combined potential value), followed by the FBI Headquarters Division (14 awards, $16.5 million), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (25 awards, $13.5 million), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (11 awards, $2.1 million), and the Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security (11 awards, $1.8 million). The Drug Enforcement Administration places the highest award count (63 awards) but carries the lowest dollar value among top customers ($1.2 million combined potential value), reflecting a pattern of numerous small license renewals and equipment purchases under $30 thousand each.

Activity has grown substantially—19 awards in 2022 to 46 in 2024—with slight contraction in 2025 (34 awards) and 2026 year-to-date (24 awards). Twenty-six awards carrying $2.9 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor places work under Alliant II (7 task orders) and agency-specific vehicles including a Blanket Purchase Agreement (3 task orders, $105 thousand combined potential value) and an Indefinite Delivery Contract. The source identifies 58 distinct customer agencies; beyond the concentrated law enforcement customer base, federal recipients include the Department of State, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, Social Security Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Energy, and Department of the Interior.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue totals $2.9 million in FY2025 on a single prime contract (the Secret Service definitive contract). The SCI dataset captured zero full-time equivalent personnel and zero subcontractor hours on that reporting record—Magnet Forensics self-performed all labor. SCI captures only service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold and excludes goods, products, and micro-purchases; the vendor's federal footprint is dominated by small software licenses and equipment purchases below that threshold and therefore falls largely outside SCI scope.

Magnet Forensics operates predominantly as a prime contractor on its own software and licensing work; the 5% sub-award share reflects niche teaming where Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC, Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies LLC, HII Mission Technologies Corp, and Amentum Technology Inc. act as prime integrators or system leads and Magnet Forensics supplies digital forensics modules. The vendor also holds one federal grant sub-award with the Seattle Police Department (FY2025) for digital evidence storage and discovery workflow feasibility study work. The vendor carries a named subsidiary, V2 Forensics Corporation. Several award records reference "Grayshift, LLC" as an alternate trading name or related entity for GrayKey licensing arrangements; the source treats Grayshift as a functional equivalent or legacy brand name under the Magnet Forensics parent.
