Evaluation and scoring are conducted in accordance with NRS 333.335 and NAC 333.160-333.165.
Responses shall be kept confidential until a contract is awarded.
In the event the solicitation is withdrawn prior to award, responses remain confidential.
The evaluation committee is an independent committee established to evaluate and score qualitative evaluation factors for the solicitation.
The State, at its option, may limit participation in cost scoring, presentations, or both to vendors above a natural break in relative scores.
Financial stability shall be scored on a pass or fail basis.
Responses shall be consistently evaluated and scored based upon the following factors and relative weights.
Evaluation Criteria for Option 1:
| Experience and Qualifications: | 60 |
| Customization of Program | 20 |
| Delivery Plan | 15 |
| Evaluation and Support | 10 |
| Cost factor | 5 |
Evaluation Criteria for Option 2:
| Experience and Qualifications: | 30 |
| Customization: | 30 |
| Security Compliance | 20 |
| Post-Launch Support | 15 |
| Cost factor | 5 |
Cost factor. The cost factor score will be based on the following equation. The highest proposed cost from any vendor and the lowest proposed cost from any vendor will be added together to generate a combined total. For each vendor, that proposed cost will be subtracted from the previously combined total. This number is then divided by the highest proposed cost. The resulting number is multiplied by the cost factor weight to generate a weighted cost score.
Presentations. The State may require vendors to make a presentation. The State reserves the right to add additional criteria for presentations. The State reserves the right to forego presentations and select vendor(s) based on written responses submitted.
Best and final offers. Pursuant to NAC 333.165, the State reserves the right to permit revised responses or add criteria to obtain the best offers.

Inverse preference
The State applies an inverse preference to vendors that have a principal place of business in a state other than Nevada and that state applies an in-state preference not afforded to Nevada based vendors, pursuant to NRS 333.33695.
The amount of the inverse preference is correlated to the amount of preference applied in the other state.
