Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Department of Justice, Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Digital Vertex Federal, LLC.

Work Details The contractor will provide a renewal of one (1) SITE Enterprise/Sourcefeed subscription. This commercial service platform must deliver real-time monitoring of extremists on online forums, including the dark web. The Sourcefeed database serves as the repository for this monitoring data, enabling investigators and prosecutors to proactively prevent violent crime by providing near-real-time access to actual extremist forums and social media. The service helps identify evidence for ongoing cases and uncovers new cases that may pose threats to individuals and organizations in the NYC metro area. Period of Performance July 20, 2026, through July 19, 2027, with four (4) additional one-year options. Place of Performance Annapolis, Maryland. Bidder Requirements The contractor must be capable of providing a commercial service platform that meets the specified requirements for real-time monitoring of extremist activities. No specific security clearances or professional certifications are mentioned; however, the contractor must demonstrate capability in delivering the required services. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This notice appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with EDNY placing a follow-on one-year SITE subscription order for access to SITE Enterprise services and the Sourcefeed database (up to five users) under contract 15JA5322P00000076, awarded to IG for $27,000 from 03/17/22–03/17/24. The current requirement is also described as a renewal of a SITE Enterprise/Sourcefeed subscription for real-time monitoring of extremist activity, indicating the prior work is likely a continuation of the same commercial platform subscription and user access.
