Description
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) intends to procure a sole‑source GrayKey Essentials license and accompanying GrayKey hardware appliance from Magnet Forensics to support mobile device forensic investigations. The acquisition is justified because GrayKey provides unique brute‑force unlocking capabilities for iOS and Android devices that no other commercial tool can match, enabling rapid, court‑defensible extraction of full filesystem, keychain data, and RAM. The solution integrates with Magnet AXIOM for automated ingestion and analysis, supports multi‑device extraction, and includes ongoing updates and dedicated support. BLM seeks written evidence of capability from interested firms; however, the agency has already identified Magnet Forensics as the only responsible source and will award a firm‑fixed‑price contract if the requirement proceeds.
• Sole‑source acquisition of GrayKey Essentials software license and hardware appliance.
