About this file
This document is a justification for a sole source procurement from the Department of Justice for membership in the International Justice and Public Safety Network (NLETS). The Department of Justice seeks to acquire a 5-year membership in NLETS for $454,799.17 to provide single-point-of-entry access to international criminal justice data resources including driver license, driver history and criminal history information from all 50 states and other federal law enforcement agencies. As the sole owner and operator of a unified law enforcement database containing sensitive security information, NLETS is uniquely qualified to meet this requirement. Membership will allow for the real-time exchange of critical law enforcement and public safety information across jurisdictions. A price evaluation found the cost to be fair and reasonable based on previous membership rates and other relevant factors. Technical and budget personnel have certified that NLETS is the only responsible source able to meet the requirement due to the inherent governmental functions it performs.

Period of Performance: 5 years
Total Estimated Value $454,799.17

Description of Requirement:
The proposed acquisition will provide, on a firm, fixed price basis, single-point-of-entry access to international criminal justice data resources for providing direct, real-time access to various driver license, driver history and criminal history information.
Technical Justification:
This FY23 procurement request is for NLETS membership for the purposes of exchanging of law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety information with the 50 states and other federal law enforcement agencies.
Unique Qualifications of the Acquisition:

The database, by its nature, is unique to the law enforcement community throughout the country’s various law enforcement type entities to share real-time updates and information to its users. Because of the inherently governmental nature of the security information possessed by
NLETS, no commercial providers of equivalent data exist.
