The Kentucky Legislative Research Commission is seeking information through a solicitation titled JUDICIAL COMPENSATION STUDY to evaluate current judicial compensation structures and make recommendations for potential adjustments. The request is open to responses until July 27, 2026, with all submissions expected to address the methodology, scope, and deliverables necessary to conduct a comprehensive study of judicial pay across the state. The study aims to ensure competitive, fair, and sustainable compensation for judges, aligning with best practices and economic conditions while considering fiscal responsibility and judicial independence. Responses must be directed to the primary point of contact, Regina K Long, via email or phone, and no specific set-aside or NAICS code has been designated for this solicitation. The performance of this study will be conducted broadly across Kentucky, with no specific city or location restricted as the place of performance, reflecting the statewide nature of the judicial system under review. The agency, operating under the SLED classification, is focused on gathering data and insights from qualified entities capable of assembling research teams, conducting stakeholder interviews, analyzing compensation benchmarks, and delivering actionable findings. Interested parties should access the official portal through the provided UI link for additional instructions and submission guidelines, though no formal bidding format is imposed, as this is an RFI aimed at informing future procurement decisions.
