This is a Solicitation Waiver document submitted by Nevada's Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) requesting noncompetitive contract approval with Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago. The waiver seeks authorization to procure access to an internet-based, data-driven reporting system for use by DCFS without competitive bidding. The contract requires approval from the State Board of Examiners (BOE) pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 333.700(7), which mandates BOE review for state service contracts. The document outlines the justification for the noncompetitive procurement approach and establishes the scope of services to be provided through this single-source agreement.

The waiver documentation details the rationale supporting the selection of Chapin Hall as the sole vendor, emphasizing the specialized nature of the internet-based reporting system and its particular applicability to DCFS operations. This noncompetitive procurement method requires documented justification demonstrating that competitive solicitation is not feasible or practical for acquiring the specified services. The contract structure and term details, along with any associated costs and funding sources, are contingent upon BOE approval of the solicitation waiver submission.
