Specific characteristics of the material or service that limit the availability to a sole source

(unique features, function of the item, etc.). Describe in detail why only this suggested source can furnish the requirements to the exclusion of other sources.

SECNAV M-1640.1 requires the brig to provide all prisoners access to legal research material for the purpose of preparing for their court case, appealing convictions, preparing Clemency and Parole requests or any other legal issue requiring policy and case research. Legal materials must remain current and relevant to support the needs of the prisoner population. Currently, the brig has an installed Local Area Network (LAN) system that distributes legal material to computers in each housing unit in support of the requirement. The hardware installed specifically supports hard drives that are routinely replaced to ensure quarterly updates to the legal library.

LexisNexis is the sole source provider of Shepard's Citations which is the only true citator available in a non

Internet format. Additionally, LexisNexis is the exclusive provider of legal research treaties published by

Matthew Bender. Examples include: Constitutional Rights of Prisoners by Palmer; Federal Habeas Corpus

Practice and Procedure; Understanding Criminal Procedure; Moore's Federal Practice; Criminal Law Deskbook;

Criminal Defense Techniques; and more.
