RFI - CJIS Decentralized Info Sharing

The Criminal Justice Information Services Division of the FBI is seeking input through a Request for Information to develop a national decentralized information sharing environment that allows states to analyze and exchange data from Computer-Aided Dispatch systems, Law Enforcement Records Management Systems, and other public safety platforms without uploading sensitive information into a centralized federal system. The goal is to establish a scalable, standards-based architecture where each state maintains control of its own data while enabling federal authorized users to access and analyze curated information through secure APIs and a national-level node that can merge knowledge graphs from partner states and integrate with the National Crime Information Center via new message keys. Responses must include capability packages, informal budgetary pricing for licensing, implementation, and maintenance, along with evidence of technical ability, GSA Schedule status, authorized resellers, and any relevant assumptions or concerns, all submitted in unclassified format with proprietary data clearly marked. This procurement is strictly an informational gathering effort and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or offer to award a contract; no binding obligations are created by responses. All submissions must be emailed to the designated point of contact by June 12, 2026, no later than noon Eastern Time, and are limited to fifteen single-sided pages using 12-point font and one-inch margins. Only electronic formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF are accepted, and responses must avoid formal proposals, past performance summaries, or general corporate descriptions. The effort is governed under NAICS code 541512 and is being managed by the Department of Justice from its office in Washington, DC, with the place of performance located in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The government will not reimburse any costs incurred by respondents, and all information submitted must remain unclassified, with participants bearing full responsibility for the expense and effort of responding. Questions regarding the RFI are due by May 20, 2026, and responses will be published publicly on SAM.gov by May 29, 2026.
