Forensic Quality Control and Contamination Detection Software

The contract seeks software tools designed to enhance quality control in forensic sequencing operations by enabling real-time PCR analysis, detection of laboratory contamination, identification of sample switches, and monitoring of workflow errors. These tools must operate with high accuracy and reliability in high-stakes forensic environments to ensure the integrity of DNA profiling and downstream investigative outcomes. The software should be capable of integrating seamlessly into existing laboratory systems and provide actionable alerts or diagnostics to prevent data compromise and maintain chain-of-custody standards. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement under NAICS code 511210, with a response deadline of July 13, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside classification or designated point of contact, and the place of performance is not detailed beyond the state of Florida. Vendors must deliver solutions that meet stringent forensic compliance requirements, emphasizing real-time functionality, error mitigation, and data security without reliance on external or proprietary hardware. All submissions are expected to demonstrate technical feasibility, scalability, and alignment with current forensic standards used in criminal justice applications.
