About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), a component of the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract for Criminal History Data Services. The contract will be awarded to Nlets, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that operates a secure, nationwide computerized message-switching network connecting state, local, federal, and international criminal justice agencies. This notice, posted on November 19, 2025, informs the public of BJS's intent to sole-source the contract based on FAR 6.302-1, which applies when only one responsible source can satisfy the government's requirements. The contracting vehicle falls under NAICS Code 518210 (Data Processing, Hosting, and Related Services) with a size standard of $40.0 million and PSC Code R499 (Other Professional Services). The anticipated period of performance is one year from the date of award.
Nlets is uniquely positioned as the only organization in the United States operating this criminal justice information-sharing infrastructure, making it the sole source capable of providing BJS with secure, automated processes to collect criminal-history data for national statistical studies on recidivism and criminal offending patterns. While this notice is not a formal solicitation, interested parties may submit capability statements by December 2, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. EST at no cost or obligation to the government. Capability statements must include the company name, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), physical address, and a detailed demonstration of technical ability to perform the work. Only organizations capable of replicating Nlets' specialized criminal justice data infrastructure and information-sharing capabilities would potentially qualify to respond. No contract will be awarded based on responses to this notice, and no telephone or email inquiries will be accepted regarding this opportunity.
