About this file
This is a Solicitation Waiver Justification and Request Form submitted by the Nevada Department of Emergency Management to the State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division. The request seeks approval for a professional service exemption to contract with Grantanalyst.com, LLC DBA Zoomgrants for a cloud-based Grants Application and Management System to be used by division staff and designated grant sub-recipients. The contract term is from BOE Approval through June 30, 2027, with a one-time purchase designation.
The total estimated value of the service contract is $54,000, funded 100% through federal funds. The agency has previously contracted with Zoomgrants, with past contracts valued at $55,000 (6/25/24-4/30/26), $40,500 (10/18/22-5/31/24), and $80,000 (1/30/20-6/30/22). The waiver request cites that the current vendor, Carahsoft-Submittable, is unable to provide the required financial tracking services, necessitating a return to Zoomgrants. The system uses SAS 70 Type II Certified data centers and includes custom developed software and data conversion capabilities. The agency notes that alternative grants software pricing is significantly higher than what their decision unit can cover.
