Background

The LD’s mission is to apply scientific capabilities and technical services to the collection, processing, and exploitation of evidence for the FBI and other duly constituted law enforcement and intelligence agencies in support of investigative and intelligence priorities. The LD’s Electronic Laboratory (eLAB) Program Management Office (PMO) will support and maintain the COTS LIMS as well as the unclassified network backbone infrastructure for the COTS application.

Requirements

There are two major focus areas of support required of a LIMS tool:

  • A COTS software product to support the business functions within the Laboratory
    • These functions include the capability to receive, inventory, and transfer evidence as well as manage workload, document and report results, and provide metrics on case data as outlined below
    • The system will ensure the FBI Laboratory meets ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) standards
  • Software application and configurations shall be in alignment with the FBI’s technological infrastructure as outlined below
