- PRE-SOLICITATION NOTICE FOR THE NATIONAL MEDIA EXPLOITATION CENTER (NMEC) DOMEX MEDIA EXPLOITATION PLATFORM AND TRIAGE SYSTEM The Virginia Contracting Activity is seeking to identify qualified sources that have the ability to meet Government requirements for services and the production of a customized digital forensics platform and triage system. The National Media Exploitation Center ( NMEC) requires contractor services to provide a standardized, modular, digital forensics platform that integrates into NMEC‘s forensics operation and provide support to investigate, determine, and integrate new technologies and tools into the platform. These include technologies and tools related to digital media triage, automation, traditional digital forensics, mobile device forensics, computer vision, machine learning, signals processing, human language technologies, timeline analysis, and identity intelligence. The platform will automatically pre-process evidence files for examination with little or no user interaction and allow digital forensics examiners to investigate, determine, and document digital forensic evidence found on media. A classified version of the platform with features and capabilities included as directed by the Government will be implemented along with the unclassified platform for use in media exploitation efforts. All personnel performing services must have a Top Secret/SCI clearance. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and potential offerors must be currently registered in the System for Award Management (SAM). The acquisition will be conducted using the advisory multi-step process (hereafter referred to as “voluntary down-select”) pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.202. The VaCA requests only potential PRIME offerors to submit information. The submitted information will allow the Government to advise Offerors about their potential as viable competitors. A written electronic submission is required in response to this notice. The type of information that must be submitted in response to this notice and the criteria that will be used to make the initial evaluation and resultant voluntary down-select is described below. VaCA plans to use non-government personnel in support of this acquisition pursuant to FAR Subpart 37.2 Advisory and Assistance Services. This pre-solicitation notice contains the following Defense Intelligence Agency Acquisition Regulation Supplement & Instruction (DARSI) provision: 1052.209-98 UTILIZATION OF SUPPORT CONTRACTORS BY THE GOVERNMENT (FEB 2009) a. Offerors are advised that non-government employees will serve as advisors for assisting the government during evaluation of proposals.

They shall be expressly prohibited from scoring, ranking, or recommending the selection of a source. b. The government is responsible for proper safeguards to ensure proposal evaluation objectivity. In this regard, the government exclusively retains all source selection decision authority and supporting decision responsibilities. Moreover, all participants in the proposal review process with access to source selection sensitive information are required to execute a government nondisclosure agreement. c. Government support contractors who may be involved in review of proposals submitted in response to this solicitation are identified as follows: Ms. Lora Mackin government contractor for Roger P.

For each such subcontractor agreement executed, Offerors shall provide a copy of such agreements with their proposal, and shall indicate in the proposal that the government support contractor(s) may utilize subcontractor proprietary data in evaluating the subcontractor's proposal for this acquisition.
