Background
The United States Department of Justice, specifically the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), is seeking to modernize and streamline its Internet-based investigative resources through the implementation of a Managed Attribution System.

This initiative aims to equip DEA agents and analysts with standardized technical tools necessary for safe and effective online research and evidence collection. The increasing reliance of Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) on Internet-based applications necessitates this modernization to enhance law enforcement capabilities in combating illicit activities.

- Containment of malware within a secure operation environment (SOE).
- Flexibility to integrate additional mission-critical applications into the secure desktop.
- Non-attributable online activities through trade-crafted points-of-presence that mask the user's actual location.
- Advanced security features including anonymized connections to the Public Internet, audit trails of user activities, and the ability to journal information securely.
- Emulated mobile phone capabilities for sending/receiving messages and calls, along with an Exodus wallet for managing cryptocurrency assets.
- Distributed administrative access allowing DEA administrators to manage user privileges with 2-factor identification requirements.

Period of Performance
The period of performance is from August 14, 2025 through August 13, 2031, consisting of a base period of one year with four successive twelve-month option periods.
