About this vehicle
The Department of Justice Justice Management Division awarded Computer Assisted Legal Research 3, a master IDIQ for computer-assisted legal research and related data services, with the most recent task order placed on October 3, 2011—more than fourteen years ago. This vehicle is no longer active for new orders; it was succeeded by Computer Assisted Legal Research 4, awarded April 1, 2012.
The IDIQ served a single customer (Department of Justice Justice Management Division) across 69 task orders established between September 2004 and October 2011. Combined potential value across all task orders reached $32.2 million, with $27.6 million obligated (86% of potential). Annual ordering ranged from 7 to 11 orders per year during the last five years of activity.
Relx Inc. dominated the vehicle, winning 59 of 69 orders valued at $26.4 million combined potential—capturing 82% of the vehicle's total value. West Publishing Corporation held the remaining 10 orders, valued at $5.8 million. All 69 task orders were unrestricted, non-set-aside procurements.
Task orders funded access to commercial legal research databases and related software licenses: Lexis-Nexis products (Accurint, IMAP, BNA, transactional services), West Government Services' legal research platform, and related case management and litigation support tools (CaseMap, TimeMap, Concordance). Orders also included database access for federal law enforcement and investigative agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Task-order ceilings ranged from under $1,000 to $3.4 million, with typical firm fixed-price orders falling in the $50,000 to $1 million range. Order durations were typically one year. Notable large orders included $3.368 million for Accurint Federal Task Force support (awarded September 2005), $2.5 million for West Government Services clearance (October 2011), and recurring $2.78 million annual orders for U.S. Marshals Service Accurint access.
