70 -- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR TITLE III DIGITAL AUDIO COLLECTION SYSTEM SOL RFI-7207 DUE 072098 POC Kris Moxley, Tel. # (703) 630-6147 The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Electronic Surveillance Technology Section (EST-3), Quantico, VA, is seeking information from industry on digital audio collection systems to support Criminal Law Enforcement (CLE) investigations. The purpose of this system is to collect, store, process, and retrieve surveillance audio (telephone and microphone), as well as to collect and store facsimile and modem data transmissions pertinent to CLE (TITLE III) case investigations. This new collection system will replace existing CLE analog telephony intercept equipment that provide electronic surveillance requirements throughout the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico. REQUIREMENTS: The FBI is seeking information on the availability of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems that meet or exceed all current Title III capabilities and provide new and enhanced capabilities in several areas. Those areas include: wide area networking (WAN) of collection equipment, digital storage, report generation, media duplication, redaction, courtroom presentation, and information processing. Proposed system should consist of Personal Computers that are fully upgradeable and WAN compatible. It should utilize a database that will store all Call Content Information (CCI) and Signal Related Information (SRI) and archive that information to an integrated storage device (i.e. Jukebox). Additionally, the new system must be upgradeable to accommodate new technology such as the Electronic Surveillance Interface that will be provided through the Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (CALEA). Industry responses to this RFI should be submitted to the attention: Mr. Kris Moxley, FBI ERF-Building #27958-A, Quantico, VA 22135 no later than 45 calendar days following publication of this notice in the CBD.
