Bid Q&A Summary
This is a Bid Questions and Answers document for RFP BRDCOM-S3469, issued by the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy for a drug take-back bin service. The procurement seeks a turn-key pharmaceutical waste management solution involving the supply, installation, collection, transportation, and destruction of drug take-back bins across Nevada. The state anticipates approximately 615 licensed pharmacies may participate in the program, with interested pharmacies to be provided to the selected vendor. The contract period runs from January 13, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with proposals due October 28, 2025. No site visit is required. The state will notify vendors if collection sites are no longer registered with the DEA, eliminating the need for vendors to proactively monitor registrations. Upon contract expiration, vendors must remove bins unless the registered collector chooses to maintain the bin at their own expense.
The pricing structure requires vendors to submit a per-box per-month cost that includes all associated expenses for each box for one month. Vendors may use contract carriers licensed in Nevada to transport medications from collection points to DEA-licensed receiving facilities. The state has not disclosed anticipated annual volume data per collection kiosk. Current funding is allocated only through June 30, 2027, with no determination yet regarding contract renewal or extension. The Q&A clarifies that certain federal compliance requirements referenced in the original RFP terms—including Davis-Bacon Act provisions, environmental regulations, and cultural preservation mandates—do not apply to this specific procurement. The document confirms the state's intent to provide vendors with a list of participating pharmacies rather than require vendors to recruit collection sites beyond compliance with DEA regulations.

| QUESTION_NBR | CREATED_BY | QUESTION_SUBJECT | QUESTION_TEXT | ANSWER_TEXT |
| 1 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Site Visit Required? | Section 8.6 states that a site visit will occur at the date/time listed in the timeline, but the timeline does not reference a site visit. Is there a required site visit, and if so, when and where? | No site visit is required. |
| 2 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | List of Site Locations | How many collection kiosks is the state of Nevada targeting with this program, and is there a list of sites or target zip codes that is available? | Any licensed pharmacy in the State can request a bin. We have approximately 615 pharmacies in the state |
| 3 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Host Site Recruitment | Are vendors bidding on this RFP required to recruit sites to participate in the program, or will vendors simply be given a list of sites that have already agreed to participate in the program? If vendors are required to handle recruiting, are there any recruitment parameters beyond compliance with DEA regulations for registered collectors? | No, a list of pharmacies who are interested in obtaining a Take back bin will be provided to the vendor |
| 4 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Scope of NRS Title 27 and Title 40 | Can additional detail be provided on the specific sections of NRS Title 27 and NRS Title 40 that are relevant to this solicitation (i.e. sections 333, 334, 439, 453, 454, NAC 639 050, others)? | I don’t' see NRS Title 27 aned NRS Title 40 in this RFP |
| 5 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Use of Contract Carrier Transportation | Section 3.4.1 states, "The vendor must be licensed and authorized to transport pharmaceutical waste, using appropriate vehicles and adhering to safety protocols." Is the use of contract/common carrier acceptable to transport medications from the point of collection to the final DEA-licensed receiving facility, as outlined in 21 CFR 1317.05(c)(2)? | Yes if the carrier is properly licensed in NV |
| 6 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Deinstallation of Kiosks | Section 3.6.1 states, "The vendor must remove, at no additional charge, the installed drug take-back bin upon request of the collector, in the event the collector is no longer registered as a Collector, or at the discretion of the Board of Pharmacy." Would the state notify the vendor in the event that a host location is no longer registered as a Collector, or is the vendor expected to proactively monitor the DEA registration of all program participants on an ongoing basis in order to fulfill this requirement? | Yes, a list will be provided to the vendor |
| 7 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Anticipated Usage/Volumes | Is there any expected volume data that can be shared in terms of expected pounds generated annually per collection kiosk? | We do not know at this time. |
| 8 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Pricing Structure | Section 3.3.1 states, "The Vendor must supply and replenish, at no additional charge, a removable inner liner as specified in 21 C.F.R. § 1317.60 for pharmaceutical waste collection, removal, and disposal." Does the "at no additional charge" verbiage mean that vendors can't price per box/liner, and that the Board of Pharmacy wants pricing submitted only as a lump sum per year? If so, can vendors included an allotment/assumption of boxes per site, such that volumes shipped in excess of that allotment could be billed per unit? Or is there a different intent for the "at no additional charge" requirement in this section? | A price per box per per month cost is what we are looking for. This will include all costs for that box for one month. |
| 9 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Davis Bacon Act | Terms and conditions section 4.2.22 references the Davis-Bacon Act. Why is Davis-Bacon Act considered if this work does not fall under public works? | I don't see this in the posted RFP |
| 10 | MMOYNIHANSRCL | Compliance With Laws | Terms and conditions section 4.2, Compliance, references several laws that are not pertinent to the scope of work. Can the state clarify how/why the following are applicable? |
