About this file
This document is a Bid Q&A for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the State of Nevada for Consulting, Marketing and Education Services. The RFQ seeks to establish a multi-vendor contract for a variety of services including Program Evaluation, Project Management, Data Analysis and Reporting, and others. The contract term is for four years with an option to extend for two additional years, for a potential six-year total. Vendors can respond to one or more of the eight defined Scopes of Work and the State may make multiple awards. Responses are due by May 18, 2023 at 2:00 PM PT.
The RFQ provides historical spend data for the service categories and indicates the State will apply a 1% administrative fee to any subsequent user agency service agreements. The State prefers vendors that can provide services in-house versus through subcontractors. Vendors are required to submit resumes and describe their philosophy on delivering the required services. The State will not accept redline edits to the contract terms, but will allow vendors to acknowledge compliance. While there is no minimum or maximum contract value, the State does not provide an estimated budget for the overall opportunity.

| 5 | KMARSCHALL | Template Availability | Is there a template that should be used for any components that are part of the Technical Proposal list on page 7, section 10.2, of the RFP?

| 8 | KMARSCHALL | Needs Assessment section | "Needs Assessment" was previously a stand-alone service that a vendor could apply for, but it is not under the Marketing Services. Can a vendor apply for section 1.3 (Needs Assessment) only? | This RFQ was designed to support various state agencies that would have similar needs. The scopes were adjusted to fulfill that statewide requirement. Vendors should respond to the solicitation in a manner that demonstrates their ability to provide services they are bidding for.

Was inclusion of Needs Assessment in Marketing Services correct or should Needs Assessment be a separate scope of work item? | This RFQ was designed to support various state agencies that would have similar needs.

The RFQ is setup to allow for multiple awards based on demonstrated competence in their area of scope. | |

| 17 | MERCERGHSC | Section 4 Vendor Response | Section 4 Vendor Response says that in addition to specific SOW details, Vendors shall explain how work is performed consistent with the four sub-items of 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3, and 4.3.4.

| 58 | MAXHEALTH | RFP Section 4.3 pg. 3 | Some of these topics do not seem relevant to all of the SOWs, such as Community Engagement. For example, a vendor proposing the Project Management SOW may not be involved in community engagement.

| 60 | MAXHEALTH | RFP Section 9.4.4, pg. 6 | With regard to description of the vendor?s philosophy on how it will provide deliverables, we assume this is to be a general discussion of our deliverable development process and not addressing specific deliverables by SOW. If this assumption is incorrect, please clarify what response is expected. | Vendors are encouraged to provide their best response. | |

Given that vendors are not responding to a specific project, we respectfully request that resumes are not required at this time. Would the State consider having vendors provide job descriptions of the typical roles needed for a given SOW? If resumes are required, how many resumes are required to show a vendor?s ability to provide the type of staff that may be required in the future?

| 65 | MAXHEALTH | RFP Section 10.2(E), pg. 7 | We assume that the topics listed in Section 4.3 should be provided as part of the Response to Scope of Work. Is this assumption correct? If not, please clarify. | That is correct. | ||

| 76 | MADDIEHUNTLEY | Subcontracting with vendors who will also be applying for a state MSA | Is it allowable for our company to indicate that we sometimes subcontract with entities who are also applying for a state MSA? | Vendors are encouraged to provide their best response. | ||
| 77 | KPS3MARKETING | Local preference | Do Nevada-based agencies receive any preference? | No, due to the potential of agencies using federal funding. | ||

| Is the "Exchange" a typo? Was that copied from the NV Healthlink RFP? Or is that in reference to something else? | Exchange is a typo. This RFQ was substantially similar to one for the Health Exchange. Some scope items were adotped to allow for statewide agency usage. | |||||
| 83 | RVRADENBURG | Bid Date | If I'm understanding the amendment correctly, bids including statement of qualifications (SOQ) are not being accepted until the "start date" of this RFQ, 5/18/23. Is my understanding correct? Is there any deadline for SOQ or any other items prior to the 5/18/23 opening date? What is the deadline for SOQ and bid submission? | Responses must be received by the deadline 5/18/2023 at 2PM PT. Nevada has a "closed" bidding process, meaning the state cannot see anything submitted until it has reached the deadline line. Then the Bids/submissions are "opened" hence "bid opening". |
