RFI-010-2600000015-1 | JUDICIAL COMPENSATION STUDY

The Kentucky Legislative Research Commission has issued a request for information to conduct a comprehensive Judicial Compensation Study, aimed at evaluating the current pay structure and benefits for judicial officers across the state. This solicitation, identified as RFI-010-2600000015-1, invites qualified entities to submit responses by July 26, 2026, to provide data, analysis, and recommendations that will inform legislative decisions regarding judicial salaries, equity, and long-term compensation sustainability. The study is intended to ensure judicial compensation remains competitive and aligned with similar states, while accounting for responsibilities, workload, and cost of living variations within Kentucky. Though no specific NAICS code or set-aside designation is listed, the effort falls under state government procurement and is managed by the Legislative Research Commission, with Regina K Long serving as the primary point of contact. Responses must be directed to the specified email and phone number, and all work is expected to support statewide policy development without restriction to a specific location, as both the organizing office and performance location are designated as “Other, KY.” The request is accessible online through the Kentucky Vendor Self-Service portal, and submissions will be evaluated based on methodological rigor, completeness of analysis, and relevance to Kentucky’s unique judicial structure.
