7. Notice of intent to sole source

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement is issuing a notice of intent to sole source prosecutor case management software to Karpel Solutions under Detroit City Code Sections 17-5-12(g) and 17-5-154, with questions due November 16, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST and proposals due November 19, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The City states that only one source of supply is available. Competitive bidding is not planned, though the City reserves sole discretion over that decision and will consider written capability responses from interested parties within seven business days of publication.

The procurement covers a cloud-based Prosecutor by Karpel (PbK) system for misdemeanor case management and prosecution under a new City ordinance and a Memorandum of Understanding with the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. Required components include core case management, document generation and templates, ordinance and code management, an external agency portal, and reporting tools. The system must interface with LEIN, Clemis, and eWarrant and be hosted in a Microsoft Azure Government Cloud environment. Implementation services include workflow assessment, configuration, staff training, integration development, testing support, and project management. Attachment A, a respondent questionnaire, requires three relevant projects completed within the last five years, an organizational chart, resumes for key personnel, and documentation of dedicated staffing capacity.

The five-year contract carries a total value of $180,531.00. The City may modify services after contract approval, with pricing changes made by amendment. Karpel Solutions is located at 9717 Landmark Parkway, St. Louis, Missouri 63127. All responses must be submitted through the EUNA Bonfire Supplier Portal.
