According to a recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the bureau is looking to buy a ‘massive online data repository system’ for its Office of Strategic Intelligence and Information (OSII). The system is intended to operate for at least five years, and be able to process automated searches of individuals, and ‘find connection points between two or more individuals’ by linking together ‘structured and unstructured data.'”
