The Drug Enforcement Agency Administration (DEA) is issuing the following Request For Information (RFI) to obtain market research information related to DEA’s Investigative Case and Data Ecosystem requirements.

The digital age has brought about an unprecedented surge in the generation, collection, and storage of vast amounts of information. This presents both opportunities and challenges for the DEA. The proliferation of digital technologies, surveillance systems, social media platforms, and interconnected systems and databases empowers the DEA workforce with access to a wealth of information, opening new avenues for investigation, drug poisoning prevention, and strategic decision-making. However, the sheer volume and diversity of data also pose significant challenges in terms of extraction, standardization, analysis, interpretation, and visualization. Adapting to this informational landscape will reshape how DEA operates and underscores the critical role of data in combating organized cartel structures. This shift also emphasizes the networked nature of the threat, offering opportunities to map, identify, and target networks through data, particularly as traditional investigative tools face growing limitations in the evolving landscape.
