This is a Solicitation Waiver Justification and Request Form from the State of Nevada's Department of Administration Purchasing Division, involving SPWD Buildings & Grounds and Siemens. The document seeks a sole or single source waiver for Siemens to provide service and support for building management systems in Nevada-owned or operated/leased properties, utilizing Siemens Building Technologies building control systems. The contract has a total estimated value of $80,000, with a start date upon approval and an end date of 06/30/2028, representing a one-time purchase.

The waiver is justified by Siemens being the existing vendor that manages the building management system (BMS) for several buildings, using a system that ensures an uninterrupted transition and efficient operations. The State argues that changing the building control system would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and take up to a year to complete, making Siemens the most practical vendor. The contract will be funded through B&G rent revenue, and Siemens will provide services including troubleshooting, investigations, component repair/replacement, system updates, graphical updates, programming changes, operational testing, and system training, with each service call to be completed based on a specific scope of work.
