B.2.3 Economic Price Adjustment - Access Fee

The Access Fee (CLIN XX01) is comprised of a user fee and a terminal fee. The user

service. Ther terminal fee is based on the number of terminals specified in Section C of
this contract and is not subject to adjustment under this clause.

If, at any time during contract performance, the user fee as determined by the NLETS
Council either increases or decreases, the Contractor shall furnish written notice to the
Contracting Officer within 60 days after the NLETS Council determination, or within any
3
National Law Enforcement Telecommunications (NLETS)

additional period that the Contracting Officer may approve in writing, but not later than
the date of final payment under this contract. The notice shall include the “Contractor’s
proposal for an adjustment to the Access Fee CLIN to be negotiated under paragraph ©
of this clause, effective date, and amount of the increase or decrease and the amount of
the Contractor’s adjustment proposal.
C.
Promptly after the Contracting Officer receives the notice and data under paragraph (b)
of this clause, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor shall negotiate a price
adjustment in the contract unit prices and its effective date. The Contracting Officer
shall modify this contract to include the price adjustment and its effective date. The
Contractor shall continue performance pending agreement on, or determination of, any
adjustment and its effective date.
D.
The Contracting Officer may examine the Contractor’s books, records, and other
supporting data relevant to the user fee during all reasonable times until the end of 3

SECTION C
STATEMENT OF WORK
C.1
GENERAL
C.1.1 The National Law Enforcement Telecommunications (NLETS) is a computerized, highspeed message switching system created for and dedicated to the criminal justice
community. Its sole purpose is to provide for the interstate and/or interagency exchange
of criminal justice and criminal justice related information. A magnetic tape log of all
transactions is kept to provide system statistical reports and management information.
C.1.2 The NLETS is supported by a duplexed computer system located at the Arizona
Department of Public Safety in Phoenix, Arizona. The system has the capability to
receive, store and forward message traffic from and to all its user agencies.
Administrative message traffic on the system includes all types of free form criminal
justice related data from one point to one or more points. In addition, the NLETS
supports inquiry into state motor vehicle, driver’s license, criminal history and other state
data bases.
C.1.3 The NLETS users are primarily criminal justice agencies located nationwide. A single
communications line is provided to the capital city for each state and the District of
Columbia. The Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS), Postal
Inspection Service Naval Investigative Services, Air Force Office of Special
Investigations (OSI), National Sheriffs’ Association, International Police Organization
(INTERPOL), Secret Service and Department of Justice receive service through their
respective dedicated line.
C.2
SCOPE
The Contractor shall provide interstate and/or interagency exchange of criminal justice
and criminal justice related information to the Department firm fixed.
C.3
SPECIFIC
C.3.1 The Contractor shall provide circuit availability twenty-four (24) hours a day in a secure
law enforcement environment. The Department of Justice users of the Justice
Telecommunications System (JUST) require access to the NLETS to exchange freeform criminal justice and criminal justice related information with state and local criminal
justice agencies, state motor vehicle departments and other state agencies, providing
routine vehicle registration or driver’s license information. Access is currently being
provided to over 5000 terminals nationwide, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands.
C.3.2 Point of Entry. Each state has a point of entry (POE). This is the location where the
NLETS line actually terminates. In the computer-to-computer states, the POE is the
state computer system which interfaces with the NLETS computer. The POE is not to
5
National Law Enforcement Telecommunications (NLETS)
DJJF-07-RFP-0450
be confused with the control terminal.
C.3.3 Control Terminal. The Department of Justice is designated as a Control Terminal
Agency. This designated agency is responsible for maintaining operational surveillance
over the state and of the line and for providing dissemination services in and out of the
NLETS Network. The control terminal is normally addressed by NLETS using the twocharacter state code, the Originating Agency Identified (ORI) or XXNLETS00 where XX
is the state or federal code.
C.3.4 Traffic is directed automatically to the destination ORI(s) on the state network. In all
cases, the control terminal agency is responsible for the expeditious delivery of
messages to the designated destination ORI. An exception to this rule is the distribution
of statewide broadcast messages.
C.3.5 No information delivered from NLETS will be used for any purposes other than what was
originally intended. Exceptions to this rule allow:
1)
The review of message traffic for quality control and,
2)
The usage of traffic for statistical analysis purposes.
C.3.6 Message Routing. All messages will be routed using the appropriate NCIC Originating
Agency Identification code. The NLETS checks the state or federal code of all incoming
traffic an sends messages directly to the proper state point of entry. Any detected
errors are returned to the sending terminal by the NLETS computer or the state or
federal point of entry.
C.3.7 Maintenance. Line, terminal, or data set problems shall be reported to NLETS control
center by the user agency and they will coordinate all trouble isolation.
C.3.8 System Usage - General. All traffic over the system shall be in the prescribed message
form. Unnecessary messages with superfluous verbiage or embellishments are
prohibited. Information of no value to the address shall be avoided. For example,
addresses or telephone numbers of parents reporting runaway children are of no value
to another department who will notify the originating department, not the parents, of any
apprehension.
