Mobile Forensic Distributed Solution RFI 15F06726RFITBC02
Summary
AI-generated · Feb 24, 2026The FBI’s Operational Technology Division is seeking a mobile forensic distributed solution that enables forensic mobile device extraction capabilities to be accessed and used across all FBI physical sites (over 400 locations), as well as during field operations and in OCONUS locations. The aim is to move away from the current approach, which requires purchasing a physical extraction device and a license for each location for the entire performance period, or transporting a device/license to each location as needed, both of which add labor, travel costs, and potential delays in rapidly exploiting evidence in exigent circumstances.
The solution should support on-demand deployment and management of finite extraction capabilities where they are needed, reducing the need to maintain hardware and licenses at every site year-round—especially for remote locations that may only require access infrequently (e.g., once per year or less). Potential solutions must meet the technical requirements described in the contemplated requirements, focusing on efficient distribution, accessibility, and control of mobile forensic capabilities across a distributed environment, including field operations and overseas locations.
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Operational Technology Division (OTD) is seeking a solution to allow the use of forensic mobile device extraction capabilities across all physical sites and locations where the FBI operates. The FBI has over 400 physical locations and also needs to perform device extractions during field operations and OCONUS. Current solutions require the purchase of a physical extraction device and license for each location for the entire period of performance OR transporting a device/license to each location where it is needed which incurs labor and travel costs and may delay the exploitation of evidence in exigent circumstances. Some remote locations may only need access to this capability one time per year or less but still require the purchase and deployment of hardware and a license for the entire year. The FBI intends to identify potential solutions to more efficiently deploy and manage finite capabilities where they are needed on demand. Potential solutions should meet the technical requirements described in the Contemplated Requirements section below.
