Business context and reporting period
Rank One Computing Corporation (Nasdaq: ROC) reported on September 14, 2026, that it entered into a contract with the U.S. Department of Justice’s Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA). The contract is for development and support of a Digital Evidence Review Platform to ingest, review, analyze, and produce eDiscovery content, including cell phone and social media data, for federal prosecutions.
Contract value and terms
- The one-year base period runs from September 22, 2026, through September 21, 2027. EOUSA is obligated to pay $7,414,143.80 for the base period.
- The base-period scope includes platform setup services, a one-year ROC Evidence license, usage-based licenses, and travel costs. Some services and costs are subject to not-to-exceed amounts.
- The contract has seven additional one-year option periods that EOUSA may elect to exercise successively. Option-period license categories are similar, with annually escalating unit prices. The first option period includes time-and-materials services; later periods include fixed-price operations, maintenance, and support.
- If all options are exercised, the aggregate potential contract amount is $64,301,418.24 over eight years. The options are not guaranteed, so this is not the committed contract amount.

Outlook, risks, and unusual items
The contract could provide a multiyear federal customer relationship, but the potential value beyond the base period depends on EOUSA exercising its options. Unit prices for licenses in option periods escalate annually. The contract incorporates applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation flow-down clauses and the Company’s quote. Portions of the contract exhibit were redacted as confidential and not material. The Company furnished a press release on September 28, 2026; that disclosure is not deemed filed for Exchange Act Section 18 purposes.
