The Federal Supply Code (FSC) / Product Service Code (PSC) procurement is 7B20. Statement of Need ¿ DERTSU Forensics Workstations USFWS/OLE/DERTSU requires updated computer forensics workstations to replace aging systems that no longer meet current investigative and technical demands. As digital evidence sizes grow and device types evolve, existing Storefront-approved computers lack the processing power, storage throughput, and expansion capacity necessary to run modern forensic tools effectively. Currently available standard systems do not meet mission requirements. Modern digital forensics workflows rely on high-performance CPUs, specialized controllers, integrated forensic bridges, and validated multi-drive configurations to efficiently process large datasets from phones, computers, cloud exports, and removable media. Without updated hardware, case processing times increase, backlogs expand, and investigative outcomes may be delayed, reducing OLE¿s responsiveness to time-sensitive wildlife trafficking, environmental crimes, and other federal violations supported by digital evidence. Replacing the current workstations with modern, purpose-built forensic systems is essential to ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and evidentiary integrity. Updated workstations will allow DERTSU to maintain operational readiness, support emerging digital investigation techniques, and meet DOI¿s performance, security, and mission requirements for law enforcement operations.
