Transactional Record Analysis Center (TRAC) for Mexico

The U.S. Department of State, through its Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, is forecasting the development of a Transactional Record Analysis Center, or TRAC, to assist Mexican authorities in monitoring and investigating illicit financial flows related to remittances entering and exiting Mexico. This initiative aims to enhance Mexico’s capacity to detect, analyze, and disrupt illegal money movement by creating a centralized, data-driven system capable of tracking patterns and anomalies in transactional records. The system is intended to support law enforcement and financial intelligence efforts by providing actionable insights to combat drug trafficking, organized crime, and other illicit activities funded through informal or unregulated remittance channels. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 611430, indicating it falls within the domain of other schools and instruction, which may reflect the training and technical support components required to operationalize the system. Although no solicitation number or specific contract value has been released, the forecast indicates an upcoming opportunity for qualified vendors to participate in designing, implementing, and potentially training staff on the TRAC platform. Point of contact for inquiries is Jamillah Timmons at timmonsj@state.gov, with Tyler Sinclair serving as the Small Business Specialist to support participation from small businesses. The project will be performed in Mexico and is part of broader U.S. efforts to strengthen international cooperation against transnational financial crime.
