Needs Investigation

Eddy County, New Mexico filed an August 2025 sole-source justification to buy the LexisNexis Accurint Virtual Crime Center, naming LexisNexis as the sole provider of AVCC. The $6,500 three-month procurement describes agency-wide analytics, public-records and law-enforcement database search, and geo-mapping, which is the standard AVCC investigative feature set.

The filing comes from the Eddy County Board of Commissioners. Because AVCC is a law-enforcement investigative tool, the operational user is almost certainly the Eddy County Sheriff's Office, though the form does not name a department. Eddy County, in southeastern New Mexico around Carlsbad, has about 62,000 residents.

This is a confirmed AVCC subscription at the access tier. What the record does not show is the signed AVCC XML Addendum that would establish whether Eddy County feeds the national Public Safety Data Exchange, so its contributor status is suspected rather than confirmed. A records request for the executed LexisNexis agreement and addendum would settle it.
