Tennessee — Statewide Contract SWC 396

Tennessee has a statewide contract — SWC 396 — with LexisNexis Risk Solutions that covers Accurint for Law Enforcement, the Accurint Virtual Crime Center, and Accurint TraX. The contract was confirmed through the Tennessee Department of General Services CPO procurement portal, which published a pricing schedule tied to a competitive bid (Invitation to Bid Event No. 32110-13380).

Standard statewide cooperative contracts like SWC 396 allow any Tennessee state agency or local government to purchase LexisNexis products through a pre-negotiated agreement, rather than going through a separate procurement process. This means that city and county law enforcement agencies across Tennessee can access — and potentially contribute data to — LexisNexis’s PSDEX without ever passing a separate council resolution or executing a standalone contract. The total universe of Tennessee agencies using these products through SWC 396 is not publicly visible.

A public records request to the Tennessee Department of General Services for all purchase orders issued under SWC 396 would, in a single response, map which Tennessee agencies are AVCC subscribers. Tennessee has no sanctuary law. Missouri operates a similar statewide LexisNexis acquisition mechanism under RSMo 34.044 and is worth a parallel investigation.
