This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation for this requirement; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. No solicitation document exists and requests for same will be considered non-responsive. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quotes (RFQ) and the solicitation number is TIRNO-07-Q-00135.

Note: The "kit" part of the part number means the unit comes with all the adapters and cables needed, not just the unit itself. The IRS requires the brand name, "Tableau" because Tableau devices are manufactured to meet digital forensic standards. The IRS Electronic Crimes (EC) is responsible for forensically securing digital evidence in criminal investigations. Evidence from computers must be secure using devices and processes which meet the Federal Rules of Evidence. The IRS-EC has used the Tableau device for the past 3 years in criminal digital evidence seizures related to 100's of criminal investigations. The EC and other Federal Agencies, including National Institute Standards and Technology and the Department of Defense, have expended considerable resources in testing and validating Tableau devices with respect to meeting forensic standard for acquiring digital evidence. IRS-EC has spent considerable resources in testing and validating the Tableau devices to assure the devices work properly with IRS-ECs forensic software. IRS-EC purchase of Tableau device should be considered an equipment refresh of already existing Tableau devices used for specific digital evidence acquisition. Alteration of any other brand will hinder IRS-EC resources, and could impact criminal investigations, due to IRS-EC having to expense resources to re-test and validate another brand device against already approved forensic software. Delivery Requirements: Delivery terms are FOB Destination. One unit shall consist of one CLIN each. The kits shall be delivered in various quantities to IRS offices located nationwide. QUOTE PREPARATION: Offerors shall prepare quotes in accordance with FAR provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial and shall include a completed copy of the provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial.
