• Operational Characteristics: Supports offline/disconnected operation, field-deployable hardware, role-based access control, and secure data storage.
• Training and Support: Includes initial operator training, law enforcement certification options, and technical support/software updates.
• Commercial Availability: Commercially available without modification, fixed-price licensing, delivered within standard commercial timelines.
• Mission Alignment: Supports criminal investigations, evidence development, undercover operations, and OPSEC/privacy risk mitigation.

Attachment B: Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace (TSM) Listing Summary

• TSM Overview: A DoD-led platform evaluating commercial technology solutions under Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) authority.
• Listing Status: Solution Type: Vehicle Forensics / Privacy / OPSEC Technology. Evaluation Method: CSO. Status: Awardable (post-competition).
• Acquisition Implications: Additional competition is not required. Acquisition may proceed under FAR Part 12. No Justification & Approval (J&A) required. Fixed-price commercial ordering is permitted.
