AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement, through its Digital Evidence Recovery and Technical Support Unit, intends to award a sole source purchase order to SUMURI TALINO for the procurement of specialized digital forensics workstations under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures of FAR Part 13.106-1(b), with an estimated value not to exceed $250,000. These systems are critical to replacing outdated equipment that can no longer meet the demands of modern digital investigations involving wildlife trafficking, environmental crimes, and other federal violations, where the volume and complexity of digital evidence from phones, computers, cloud exports, and removable media have outpaced current capabilities. The required workstations must be configured with proprietary hardware and software, including a dual-boot operating system of Windows 11 Pro and SUMURI PALADIN, an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X processor, 96GB of RAM, three or more 4TB NVMe SSDs, an NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti GPU, integrated forensic bridges such as the Tableau T356789iu, specialized USB and SATA expansion cards, hot-swap drive bays for up to nine drives, a 1300W 80+ Gold power supply, and a forensic card reader—all of which are uniquely integrated and validated only by SUMURI TALINO. No other vendor is capable of meeting these mission-critical specifications, justifying the use of a sole source acquisition under the FAR, as alternative systems lack the forensic integrity, validation, and performance required for evidentiary handling and legal admissibility. The procurement is governed by the North American Industry Classification System code 334111 and the Product Service Code 7B20, with delivery and performance occurring at the agency’s facility in Falls Church, Virginia. The contract does not include formal clauses, evaluation factors, pricing line items, packaging, marking, or logistical specifications beyond the technical requirements, nor does it identify a contracting officer’s representative, payment office, or invoicing method, consistent with the streamlined nature of simplified acquisitions. The sole-source determination is supported by a detailed justification that confirms SUMURI TALINO is the exclusive provider of the PALADIN operating system and the only entity capable of assembling and certifying the full system to federal law enforcement standards, creating an inherent organizational conflict of interest that precludes competition. Interested parties have until July 29, 2026,

Statement of Need ¿ DERTSU Forensics Workstations
USFWS/OLE/DERTSU requires updated computer forensics workstations to replace aging systems that no longer meet current investigative and technical demands. As digital evidence sizes grow and device types evolve, existing Storefront-approved computers lack the processing power, storage throughput, and expansion capacity necessary to run modern forensic tools effectively. Currently available standard systems do not meet mission requirements.
Modern digital forensics workflows rely on high-performance CPUs, specialized controllers, integrated forensic bridges, and validated multi-drive configurations to efficiently process large datasets from phones, computers, cloud exports, and removable media. Without updated hardware, case processing times increase, backlogs expand, and investigative outcomes may be delayed, reducing OLE¿s responsiveness to time-sensitive wildlife trafficking, environmental crimes, and other federal violations supported by digital evidence.
Replacing the current workstations with modern, purpose-built forensic systems is essential to ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and evidentiary integrity. Updated workstations will allow DERTSU to maintain operational readiness, support emerging digital investigation techniques, and meet DOI¿s performance, security, and mission requirements for law enforcement operations.
DERTSU requires computers that meet or exceed the following specifications:
¿ Operating System: Dual-boot Windows 11 Pro and SUMURI Paladin
¿ Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X with 16 Cores / 32 Threads
¿ 96GB 5600 Mhz RAM
¿ 3 or more 4TB NVME SSDs
¿ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB graphics card
¿ LSI Card for SATA Expansion
¿ Neousys Card for USB Expansion
¿ 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub (2x USB-A, 2x USB-C)
¿ 10 Port USB 2.0 Hub (USB-A)
¿ Forensic Card Reader
