Oklahoma City Negotiated AVCC Data Restrictions

A city council memo from Oklahoma City, dated April 21, 2026, reveals that the police department negotiated a specific amendment to its LexisNexis AVCC contract restricting access to contributed data to authorized consortium members only — and explicitly prohibiting its disclosure to any entity outside that consortium.

The amendment, designated Amendment No. 1, was approved alongside a $165,608.82 subscription renewal covering 2026. According to the memo, it was added to “clarify the data-sharing terms” for the AVCC and Accurint Crime Analysis services used by the department.

The significance is in what the amendment implies. The baseline AVCC contract, as written, does not restrict contributed data to the local consortium. Oklahoma City identified that gap and closed it by contract. That a formal amendment was required to achieve this restriction confirms that without it, the data would be accessible more broadly — including, potentially, to federal agencies and other LexisNexis subscribers operating outside the consortium. It also suggests other agencies could negotiate similar protections if they knew to ask.

The Oklahoma City subscription dates to April 2014, making it a 12-year relationship with LexisNexis. The 2026 renewal was approved retroactively, nearly four months after the contract period began.
