San Diego Association Of Governments

San Diego Association of Governments, operating through its Arjis Division as the Automated Regional Justice Information System, is a U.S. local government entity that provides multi-agency criminal justice database access and law enforcement information-sharing connectivity to federal agencies as a prime contractor on sole-source and competitive purchase orders, with no set-aside designations across all work.

The Arjis Division operates a regional criminal justice information network serving over 80 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies across San Diego and Imperial Counties. The concrete capability portfolio centers on database access and connectivity to integrated criminal justice systems including the Interstate Identification Index III, wants and warrants systems, COPLINK investigative tools, officer notification systems, evidence management platforms, and law enforcement mapping applications. Representative prime work includes a $258,740 firm fixed-price renewal award from the Navy Secretary of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service (June 30, 2026) providing multi-agency database connectivity and investigative tools through June 30, 2029; a $401,120 sole-source award from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (July 1, 2025) for ARJIS access supporting criminal investigations through June 30, 2029; a $377,927 award from the Drug Enforcement Administration (July 1, 2025) for continued criminal justice database connectivity through June 30, 2030; and a $210,495 award from the U.S. Marshals Service Southern California (August 27, 2025) for ARJIS and ESUN database access supporting fugitive apprehension through June 30, 2028.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward federal law enforcement. Customs and Border Protection leads the potential-value ranking with 18 awards ($2 million combined potential value), followed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (8 awards, $1.6 million), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (12 awards, $1.5 million), the U.S. Marshals Service (11 awards, $1.2 million), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (10 awards, $1.1 million), accounting for 53 percent of combined potential value. The award-count ranking diverges slightly: the Department of Homeland Security Chief Procurement Officer tops volume with 35 awards, the Navy Secretary of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service follows with 28 awards, and the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service places 22 awards. Recent activity accelerated sharply in 2024 (31 awards) before declining in 2025 and 2026, though four awards have closed in the past month. Within the next twenty-four months, five awards (combined potential value $500 thousand) reach ultimate completion and face recompete exposure.

The Arjis Division sits on one named parent vehicle: Indefinite Delivery Contract 24362018D0127 (1 task order, $21 thousand combined potential value). Most work is awarded directly as purchase orders rather than through standing IDIQs or GWACs, indicating a sole-source posture built on ARJIS's unique regional infrastructure position. All awards are firm fixed-price with no competitive set-asides or sole-source set-aside designations; several awards cite ARJIS as the only responsible source capable of satisfying the requirement due to its exclusive authorization and infrastructure connection to San Diego County Sheriff's Department servers and NCIS/CLETS information systems.

The Arjis Division is a child entity within the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), a regional planning agency and transportation commission headquartered in San Diego, California. SANDAG itself is structured as a U.S. local government Council of Governments entity and has received over $200 million in federal transportation and public safety grants; the Arjis Division captures the criminal justice information-sharing mission within that broader regional governance structure. The division also acts as a sub-recipient on transportation grant awards flowing from the Department of Transportation California, with recent sub-awards (January 2025 through September 2024) supporting various transportation and connectivity projects throughout San Diego County and at border ports of entry. No named teaming relationships or commercial subcontractors appear in the source material; the Arjis Division operates as a direct-services provider to federal law enforcement customers.

Primary NAICS concentration aligns with the capability footprint: Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities accounts for 162 awards, Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services for 38 awards, and Other Computer Related Services for 12 awards. The top PSC categories are Support—Administrative: Information Retrieval (75 awards) and Support—Management: Data Collection (29 awards), confirming a posture of database connectivity and law enforcement information management rather than application development or consulting.
