GrayKey Preserve

The Department of Homeland Security, through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, awarded a sole source purchase order to Magnet Forensics, LLC for the acquisition of one Magnet GrayKey and two Magnet GrayKey Preserve tools. These forensic tools are designated for use at the Computer Forensics Laboratory in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, to support high-priority national security, child exploitation, and financial crime investigations. The procurement is justified under FAR Class Deviation 25-21 REV 2 and FAR 12.102(a) due to the unique technical capabilities of the GrayKey system, which allows for full file system extractions of locked or encrypted mobile devices and preserves internal security measures to prevent data inaccessibility. The period of performance is established from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, with the broader scope ensuring 24 months of infrastructure support from initialization. This non-competitive award, identified by solicitation number 70CMSD26P00000072 and NAICS code 513210, was managed by the Investigations and Operations Support office in Irving, Texas. While the total contract value was not explicitly stated, the procurement is indicated to be at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold of 250,000 dollars. Acceptance and inspection of the equipment are to occur at the destination in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
