The Wisconsin Class 5 Legal/Public Notices: Rate Certification Program provides a standardized mechanism for state and local government entities to procure and manage legal and public notice publications. This vehicle enables government agencies to order and certify legal notices through approved newspapers, ensuring consistent and transparent communication of official information. The program facilitates the publication of required public notices, including government announcements, regulatory information, and other mandated communication materials across Wisconsin's municipal and county jurisdictions.

The contract is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, with an effective period beginning January 1, 2026. While specific prime contractors are not detailed in the provided documentation, the vehicle covers statewide geographic regions within Wisconsin. The contract appears to be a rate certification program focused on establishing standardized pricing and procedures for legal notice publications. Associated documentation, such as the DOA-3417 Application to Certify Newspaper Legal Notice Rates and the DOA-3428 Public or Legal Notice Order forms, suggest a structured approach to managing and documenting legal notice publications across the state's governmental entities.
