The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Operational Technology Division, intends to award a firm fixed-price sole source contract valued at approximately $25,963 for 25 brand-name Tableau Forensic Write-Blocker kits.

The contract covers a full set of specific Tableau components, including UltraBlock USB 3.0 and PCIe Write-Blocker Kits, PCIe SSD adapters, and forensic card readers, all required in a consolidated delivery. Partial orders or incomplete configurations will not be accepted. This procurement is being conducted under sole source authority due to the unique compatibility and integration of Tableau products within FBI CART operations. The Tableau equipment is the only line validated for these forensic tasks, compatible with existing infrastructure, training programs, and workflow, as confirmed by market research through the NASA SEWP contract holder database. The FBI determined that using an alternate product would introduce significant risks, costs, and delays.

SPECIAL NOTICE – NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT


Title: Brand‑Name Tableau Forensic Write‑Blocker Kits


Agency: U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Operational Technology Division (OTD) Digital Evidence Field Operations Unit (DEFO)


Notice Type: Special Notice – Intent to Award Sole Source (Brand‑Name Only)


NAICS Code: 334118 – Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing


PSC Code: 7A21 – IT and Telecom – Business Application Software (Hardware Components)


Proposed Contractor: Digital Intelligence, Inc. 17165 West Glendale Drive New Berlin, WI 53151


Estimated Value: $25,963.25


Contract Type: Firm Fixed‑Price (FFP)


Period of Performance: From date of award – 12 months


Description of Requirement


The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to procure 25 brand‑name Tableau Forensic Write‑Blocker kits to support newly certified Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) forensic examiners. These devices are required for:


  • Write‑block protection of original digital evidence
  • Creation, verification, and preservation of forensic images
  • Forensic wiping of digital media prior to imaging

Required brand‑name Tableau components include:


  • UltraBlock USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA Forensic Write‑Blocker Kit
  • UltraBlock PCIe Write‑Blocker Kit (T7u)
  • TDA71 PCIe Card SSD Adapter
  • TDA72 PCIe M.2 SSD Adapter
  • UltraBlock USB 3.0 Forensic Card Reader (Read‑Only and Read/Write modes)

The FBI intends to award a single firm‑fixed‑price contract for all required components. Partial orders, partial fulfillment, or incomplete configurations will not be accepted.


Authority


This acquisition will be conducted under:


  • FAR 6.302‑1 – Only One Responsible Source
  • FAR 11.105(a)(1) – Brand‑Name Only

Rationale for Sole Source


Digital Intelligence, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Tableau Write‑Blocker product line. The Tableau devices:


  • Are the only models validated and deployed within CART/DEFO operations
  • Meet all required technical specifications for forensic imaging
  • Are fully compatible with existing workflows, training materials, and infrastructure
  • Have established training packets and video demonstrations already in use

Market research conducted through the NASA SEWP contract holder database confirmed that no other vendor can provide an equivalent product meeting FBI interoperability, training, and technical requirements. Introducing an alternative product would require extensive testing, validation, and retraining, resulting in delays, increased cost, and operational risk.


THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTES OR PROPOSALS


Interested parties may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to provide brand‑name Tableau Write‑Blocker kits that meet all specifications listed above. Capability statements must clearly demonstrate the ability to provide all required components in a single, consolidated delivery.
