## Israeli operating environment (disclosed risk)
The FY2024 20-F discloses the company's geopolitical operating environment in the company's own words:
> "We are incorporated under Israeli law, and many of our employees, including many of our management members, operate from our principal office and other facilities located in Israel. Furthermore, many of our employees, officers and directors are residents of Israel. We have a small assembly facility in Israel. Accordingly, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical, and military conditions in Israel and the surrounding region." (primary public record, [Cellebrite FY2024 20-F](../../web%20archive/2026-06-05/sec.gov/cellebrite-20f-2024-cele-20241231.md))
## Product line documented in the LRPD corpus
The [[CLR-2026-778]] production documents two parallel Cellebrite procurements:
1. **Cellebrite Inseyets-UFED software + 40 unlocks** — purchased on the **OMNIA EDU R191902** cooperative-purchasing contract through reseller **Carahsoft Technology Corp.** Carahsoft Quote 49570615 dated 2024-08-22, total **$20,709.42** (which includes a $119.42 "AR Fee"). Coverage September 18, 2024 – September 17, 2025. Anchored on [[Cellebrite Inseyets-UFED Purchase (Carahsoft Quote 49570615)]].
2. **Cellebrite Advanced Services lab agreement** — a 36-month DocuSign-executed General Terms and Conditions composite bundle dated 2024-10-07, signed under Arkansas competitive-bid exemption #44 (single source) for **$21,136.06**. Anchored on [[Cellebrite Advanced Services Agreement]].
The two procurements together obligate the City of Little Rock to approximately **$41,845** for the 2024-2025 Cellebrite cycle.
The corpus also preserves the **historical Cellebrite spend** at LRPD via the Cellebrite ↔ Carahsoft ↔ LRPD email thread of October 24-28, 2024 (corpus file `Email with Carahsoft Regarding Vendor Info_10.28.24.pdf`):
| Period | Amount | Product |
|---|---|---|
| 2018–2020 | $6,290 | UFED Touch2 (original) |
| 2020–2021 | $3,700 | UFED Touch2 |
| 2021–2022 | $4,300 | UFED Touch2 |
| 2022–2023 | $4,880 | UFED Touch2 / Inseyets transition |
| 2023–2024 | $6,450 | UFED / Inseyets |
| 2024–2025 | $20,709.42 + $21,136.06 (Advanced Services) | Inseyets Online Pro + 40 unlocks + Advanced Services lab |
The 2024-2025 jump from ~$6,450/yr to ~$41,845/yr reflects LRPD's upgrade from the standalone UFED Touch2 device to **Cellebrite's cloud-based Inseyets Online Pro** plus the **40-unlock cloud subscription** plus the **Advanced Services** lab agreement (where Cellebrite performs extractions on devices its customers cannot unlock locally).
## The Advanced Services Agreement — contract clauses to know
Cellebrite's Advanced Services General Terms and Conditions ([[Cellebrite Advanced Services Agreement]]) carry several provisions that are commercially commonplace inside the digital-forensics industry but materially extend beyond what a routine software license describes. The text is quoted from the corpus document and tier-labeled as Tier-1 (corpus / FOIA). Each is documented further on the source page:
- **§5.5 — interception and circumvention authority.** Authorizes Cellebrite to "intercept communications" and "circumvent measures designed to prevent unauthorised access" in the course of providing services to the customer. (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§5.7 — employee-reporting mitigation obligation.** Obliges the customer to "mitigate the risk" that its own employees will report Cellebrite's services to other law enforcement. (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§6.4 — sources and methods.** Treats Cellebrite's unlocking "Sources and Methods" as non-disclosable trade secrets. (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§10.3 — cross-border data transfer.** Permits Personal Data extracted from customer devices to be "transferred or stored outside the EEA or the country where Customer is located." (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§13.1 — export-control compliance.** Subjects the agreement to export-control and economic-sanctions law of multiple jurisdictions. (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§14.4 (Endpoint SaaS Terms) — Israeli export controls.** Identifies **Cellebrite DI Ltd.** as the contracting entity for the Endpoint SaaS Terms and discloses that the Service is "subject to certain export, re-export, customs or import controls, applicable in **Israel**, the European Union, the United States… the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR)… not… exported or re-exported to countries as to which the United States maintains an embargo… none of the Customer Data… used for nuclear activities, chemical or biological weapons, or missile projects." (Tier-1 corpus.)
- **§14 (Annex B — Data Processing Addendum).** GDPR and EU Law Enforcement Directive 2016/680 compliant; defines the data processed as "unlocking… decoding… extracting data from digital devices, collecting end user data from cloud services." Names **Chainalysis** as a crypto sub-processor. (Tier-1 corpus.)
LRPD-favorable negotiated terms include Arkansas as the governing law (§13.16) and Arkansas FOIA carve-outs (§§11.1, 11.8) confirming Cellebrite cannot block Arkansas public-records disclosure of the contract itself.

- **First Israeli-headquartered surveillance vendor documented in the Arkansas Surveillance corpus** (jointly with [[NICE Systems]]).
- **The contracting party for cross-border data transfer.** Under Advanced Services §10.3, extracted personal data may travel outside the customer's country.

## Notes
- Cellebrite Inc. (US) and Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Israel) are distinct legal entities. The corporate parent (DI Ltd.) is the SEC registrant and the Israeli employer; the US subsidiary (Inc.) is the entity that signs customer-facing quotes and bills US public-sector customers. The composite General Terms and Conditions executed on 2024-10-07 has Cellebrite **Inc.** signed by the United-States subsidiary's officer but binds **Cellebrite DI Ltd.** in the Endpoint SaaS Terms — establishing that LRPD's Cellebrite relationship reaches both entities.
- The 2025-03-18 20-F is the most recent annual report covering the period in which the LRPD contracts were executed.
- The FY2024 20-F's risk-factor section (~50 pages, not extracted here) discusses Cellebrite's specific exposure to: (a) US export-control changes that could limit which countries Cellebrite may serve, (b) Israeli geopolitical conditions, (c) reputational risk arising from press reporting on Cellebrite tools' use abroad, and (d) law-enforcement-market concentration. Specific page citations available in the original `.htm` archive if needed.
- Cellebrite is one ingredient in LRPD's mobile-device forensic capacity stack; the device-side hardware (UFED Touch2 originally, Inseyets Pro/Online Pro after 2024) plus the cloud-unlock subscription plus the lab agreement together form a layered capability.
- See also [[Mobile Device Forensic Extraction]] (concept page) for cross-jurisdictional context on how Cellebrite's product class fits in US law-enforcement workflows.
