Lexiis Nexis ASSD 25 4 sole source letter and Juris Rate Card.pdf

This is a Direct Award Posting document from the West Virginia Purchasing Division for the West Virginia Attorney General Office, seeking to directly award a contract to LexisNexis for Juris Software licensing and maintenance. The document justifies a sole-source procurement for Juris Software, which provides legal billing, accounting, and financial management tools, covering a budget timeframe from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The procurement is being processed under West Virginia Code §5A-3-10c, which allows direct awards to vendors without competitive bidding under specific circumstances.

The rate card indicates monthly and annual budget costs for the software, with a monthly total ranging from $1,311.39 to $1,422.86 depending on the period, and an annual total of $16,405.50. The justification emphasizes that the current Juris software is published, sold, and distributed exclusively by LexisNexis, and that changing software would be financially burdensome and result in productivity loss. The sole-source letter from LexisNexis confirms they are the exclusive provider of Juris Software, with no agents or dealers authorized to represent the product, and highlights the software's capabilities in time capture, billing, reporting, and financial management for government organizations.
