Statewide Online Legal Research Subscriptions

The State of Missouri has issued a Single Feasible Source - IT (SFST) solicitation (Number C215029001) for Statewide Online Legal Research Subscriptions, seeking to establish a contract for online legal research services across various state agencies. The procurement is specifically designed to provide comprehensive legal research subscription services to state government entities for the contract period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021. Vendors must access the solicitation documents through the MissouriBUYS system and can submit responses either electronically or via hard copy to the Division of Purchasing. The solicitation opened on November 4, 2020 at 9:30 AM CST and closed on November 9, 2020 at 2:00 PM CST, with a very narrow response window. Delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, which means the services will be provided statewide to various state agencies. The procurement contact is Nicolle Backes from the Division of Purchasing, located in Jefferson City, Missouri, who can provide additional information about the solicitation.

The solicitation is restricted to invited vendors only, effectively limiting participation to a pre-selected group of potential suppliers. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation does not provide details about incumbent vendors, existing technological infrastructure, or integration requirements. Additionally, no estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific pricing details were disclosed in the available documents. Vendors are required to specify their own payment terms, and the solicitation contains no line item specifications or quantitative requirements. The procurement appears to be a straightforward renewal or continuation of existing online legal research subscription services for Missouri state government agencies, with the expectation that the selected vendor will provide comprehensive, statewide access to legal research resources for the specified contract period.
