Legal Research Access

The State of Missouri's Office of Administration - Information Technology Services Division (OA-ITSD) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for legal research access services through Lexis Nexis. The procurement, identified by solicitation number SFS300318824000799, is specifically for a one-year subscription to Lexis Nexis legal research platform, targeting government agencies within Missouri, including Clark County. The solicitation period is open from October 20, 2023, at 3:00 PM CDT to October 26, 2023, at 2:00 PM CDT, with responses restricted to invited vendors only. The key deliverable is comprehensive legal research access for one year, with specific requirements including free on board (FOB) destination delivery and net 45-day payment terms. The primary contact for this procurement is Tiffanie Meyer from OA-ITSD, who can be reached at 573-522-2032 or Tiffanie.Meyer@oa.mo.gov. Vendors must submit a single line item for legal research access, with restrictions against entering negative values or excluding the line item from the bid total.

The solicitation appears to be a direct procurement with Lexis Nexis as the sole anticipated vendor, given the Single Feasible Source designation. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement does not explicitly outline incumbent vendor information or require integration with existing technology infrastructure. While the estimated total contract value is not disclosed in any of the supporting documents, the contract is structured for a one-year term of legal research access. Payments will be processed through ITSD Accounts Payable in Jefferson City, Missouri, and the solicitation indicates that the contract will be awarded to the sole responsive and responsible vendor. The documents suggest this is likely a renewal or continuation of an existing legal research access arrangement, though no specific details about previous contracts are provided.
