D -- Lawful Interception Mediator Architecture

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) intends to award a contract to Group 2000 Nederland B.V. for the lease of a lawful interception solution tailored specifically for Nokia GSM Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) components. This solution is unique in that it operates without requiring the Nokia Lawful Interception Gateway (LIG), leveraging Group 2000’s proprietary LIMA protocol to intercept circuit-switched Interception Related Information (IRI), Communications Content (CC), and packet-switched Control and Payload Data. The process includes mediation and delivery of intercepted channels without the involvement of third-party vendors or additional equipment. Group 2000 Nederland B.V. is identified as the only responsible source capable of meeting the DEA’s technical and operational requirements for this communication interdiction need. This procurement is being conducted in compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements for publicizing contracts expected to exceed $25,000 and justifies an exception to full and open competition on the grounds of unique capability under FAR 6.302-1. The solicitation, titled "D -- Lawful Interception Mediator Architecture," was posted on January 11, 2008, under reference number STIT080001. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541511 and is managed by the Department of Justice headquarters office in Springfield, Virginia. The point of contact for the solicitation is Troy T. Teachey, who can be reached via email or phone as provided in the notice.
