IT Operations, Maintenance, and Limited Development Services Appellate Case Management System (ACMS)

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco is establishing a labor-hour Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) under a GSA Schedule for the operations, maintenance, and limited development of its Appellate Case Management System (ACMS). This procurement, identified by solicitation number A09CLERK26-0005, focuses on production support, technical sustainment, user support, and training to ensure the continued stability and modest improvement of the ACMS platform. The agreement consists of a one-year base period running from September 28, 2026, to September 27, 2027, with four subsequent option years. The contract is intended as a single-source award to Procentrix, with an estimated annual value between 1.5 and 2 million dollars. This justification is based on the work being a logical follow-on to a previously competed contract, aiming to avoid the significant costs and operational delays associated with transitioning to a new vendor. Key service areas include program management, project and service management, and transition support, with funds being obligated only as specific orders are placed against the BPA.
