Elliptic Investigator Software and Professional Service

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE Elliptic, Inc. - SS-FIN-23-017 Fiscal Service Procurement, on behalf of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) intends to make award to Elliptic, Inc., 1732 1st Ave #23346, on a sole source basis, for Elliptic Investigator Software and Elliptic Professional Service hours. FinCEN requires Elliptic Investigator Software because it provides several distinct advantages that supplement existing blockchain analytic tools like Chainalysis, which FinCEN currently has license to use. This will give FinCEN the advantage of identifying additional cryptocurrency transactions that may otherwise go unidentified if the organization were using only one tool. Elliptic products were universally identified by several experts FinCEN consulted with as having the most comprehensive, timely data and superior analytic support necessary for conducting investigations and learning about illicit threats. FinCEN has observed how the unique data to which Elliptic has access to has been utilized to accurately identify cryptocurrency transactions that other methods/tools have proven insufficient. Procurement of Elliptic will allow FinCEN to seamlessly consume from and share information with their stakeholders. Responses to this request must be submitted no later than 12:00 pm ET on November 9, 2022 and must be submitted electronically to purchasing@fiscal.treasury.gov , with the subject line of - Attn: JR/MH SS-FIN-23-017. Responses must include sufficient evidence that clearly shows the vendor can provide the software, and service hours that meet all the requirements FinCEN needs. If no written response is received that clearly demonstrates an ability to meet these requirements, is more advantageous to the Government, or is not received by the deadline, FinCEN, shall make award on a sole source basis to Elliptic, Inc.
