Sole Source Sumuri Workstation

The Federal Bureau of Investigation intends to award a one-time, sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Sumuri, LLC for the acquisition of proprietary forensic and digital evidence analysis equipment, software, licensing, and associated training services. The required products, exclusively developed and manufactured in the United States by Sumuri, include the RECON LAB, RECON ITR, and PALADIN software series, as well as the full TALINO line of forensic and eDiscovery workstations, including Multi-GPU, KA-Server, KA-Nano, and Cryptanalysis models, along with training courses such as Macintosh Forensic Survival and Certified Forensic Mac Examiner certification. Sumuri, LLC is the sole source capable of meeting the FBI’s technical requirements, with no other vendor authorized or able to provide the specified items. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334111 – Electronic Computer Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the place of performance is Linthicum Heights, Maryland. The contract will be negotiated under FAR 16.5, and this notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids. Vendor eligibility requires active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), with all information—including Taxpayer Identification Number, Electronic Funds Transfer banking details, DUNS number, business address, and point of contact—accurately updated, as payment will be processed directly from the EFT data in SAM. Interested parties may submit a statement of capability and interest via email only to Christopher Hamilton at cahamilton1@fbi.gov no later than 1:00 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday, June 4, 2026; submissions by phone or fax will not be accepted. The Government will use all received submissions solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted, retaining full discretion to proceed with sole-source negotiation. This announcement is published exclusively on SAM.gov, and interested parties are responsible for monitoring the site for updates. No contract value, delivery schedule, inspection criteria, or bonding requirements are specified, as this is a pre-solicitation notice intended to validate the necessity of a sole-source award.
