How to bid on the Jury Management Solution for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts

What the agency is seeking

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts is seeking a commercial-off-the-shelf, web-based jury management system. It would help courts select, manage, and track jurors and perform financial and statistical calculations, including interfacing with the Judiciary’s Momentum financial system.

The notice describes a planned single-award IDIQ contract. It is a pre-solicitation notice, so the attached draft RFP provides the requirement details, response instructions, and evaluation criteria.

Dates and the response deadline

The opportunity was published October 9, 2026. The listing gives a deadline of October 30, 2026 at 12:00 a.m. ET, but the notice says responses are due by 3:00 p.m. ET on a date still listed as TBD in 2026.

Because these deadline details do not match, check the RFP for the current due date and time before preparing or sending a response. The notice warns that late submissions may not be accepted.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity may suit technology firms with experience providing web-based, off-the-shelf software for jury management or related court administration needs, including financial and statistical calculations and financial-system interfaces.

It is unrestricted and open to all businesses, with no small-business set-aside. The notice says the Judiciary is not subject to the FAR, including its small-business regulations.

Read the draft RFP, performance work statement, examples, and technical volume matrix closely. Use the stated evaluation criteria to organize your response and make it easy to see how your solution addresses the described work.

Be specific about how your system supports juror selection, management, and tracking; financial and statistical calculations; and the Momentum interface. Check that the response follows Section L-0 and allow time to send it before the confirmed deadline.
