This is a Solicitation Waiver document submitted by the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Fire Marshal Division, requesting approval for a noncompetitive contract with GL Solutions (operating as GLSuite, LLC) for the continued use and operation of a database system for licensing and certification of businesses and individuals. The contract seeks to maintain existing database functionality and services that support the Fire Marshal Division's regulatory and licensing operations. The document outlines the justification for bypassing competitive procurement procedures and pursuing a sole-source agreement with the incumbent vendor based on operational continuity and system-specific requirements.

The solicitation waiver is subject to approval by the Nevada State Board of Examiners (BOE) as required under NRS 333.700(7) for state service contracts. GL Solutions is identified as the current incumbent provider, with the continued use of their database system deemed necessary for uninterrupted licensing and certification operations. The waiver documentation provides the legal and operational justification for proceeding with a noncompetitive renewal or continuation of services rather than issuing a competitive solicitation, emphasizing factors such as vendor lock-in, system integration complexity, or other considerations that support sole-source procurement from the existing provider.
