Criminal Justice Information Sharing Network for NYSP

The New York State Police has secured a five-year sole source contract with the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETs) to provide computer-controlled messaging services that facilitate seamless information exchange among local, state, and government agencies across all counties in New York State. This system aims to enhance law enforcement efforts by enabling efficient communication and data sharing. The contract, which is valued between five and fifteen million dollars, was awarded without a competitive bidding process due to NLETs being the sole provider capable of delivering these specialized services. The agreement is set to end on February 27, 2025, and covers statewide operations, ensuring that law enforcement agencies across New York have access to a unified messaging network. The procurement process was conducted as a solicitation under the NAICS code 812990, and the contract falls under the jurisdiction of the NYS Department of Police. As a sole source award, there was no requirement for advertising in the NYS Contract Reporter, and any questions regarding the contract should be directed to the designated contact person for the agency. The initiative underscores the state's commitment to strengthening law enforcement communication infrastructure through a dedicated, secure, and integrated information sharing network, vital for effective crime prevention and response efforts statewide.
