Nlets yearly subscription

West Virginia is soliciting a yearly subscription to the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS), with proposals due August 19, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with NLETS International as the incumbent and only qualified provider — NLETS operates as a consortium-based national telecommunications network, and West Virginia's participation requires connection to that centralized infrastructure.

The subscription provides West Virginia law enforcement agencies and criminal justice system users access to interstate criminal history records, driver and vehicle registration data, stolen vehicle information, and wanted person databases in real time. The service requires 99.5% uptime and 24/7 technical support. The contract term is one year with annual renewal options at the state's discretion.

Pricing follows the standard annual fee structure established by NLETS for all member states; West Virginia's cost covers access to all NLETS databases and services. Funding is drawn from the state budget allocated to law enforcement and criminal justice information systems. This is an operational expense reflecting West Virginia's participation in the multistate cost-sharing model for system maintenance and operations. No set-asides apply.
