This contract action is being publicly announced in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements since the expected value exceeds $25,000.

The contract includes a training component for four users, consisting of two days and twelve hours of instruction on the upgraded Stingray system. The notice provides contact information for further inquiries, with Catherine B. Bullard and Troy T. Teachey listed as points of contact from the Department of Justice. The work is associated with the Office of Investigative Technology within the DEA and is based out of Springfield, Virginia. The purpose of this upgrade and training is to support the DEA’s investigative capabilities through improved technology provided directly by the original manufacturer.
