This is a Solicitation Waiver Justification and Request Form from the State of Nevada Department of Administration's Purchasing Division, submitted by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) for processing services related to the Federal Electronic Duck Stamp Program. The contract is with Amplex Corporation and covers a five-year term from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2029, with a total estimated value of $868,000. The document justifies a sole/single source procurement for the distribution of the Federal Electronic Duck Stamp, which is a product designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

The waiver request emphasizes that the USFWS exclusively designates Amplex Corporation as the vendor to distribute the Electronic Duck Stamp, making competitive bidding impossible. The funding will come from Sportsmen Revenue generated by NDOW through Federal E-Duck Stamp and Fees. The contract ensures a fulfillment center for delivering duck stamps to purchasers, with monthly payments based on sales made by Nevada hunters. Previous contracts with Amplex Corporation from July 2015 to September 2025 demonstrate an ongoing relationship, with contract values ranging from $76,000 to $847,477. If the waiver is denied, Nevada would no longer be able to offer the Federal Electronic Duck Stamp to waterfowl hunters within the state.
