This document is a Solicitation Waiver Justification and Request Form from the State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division, involving the Governor's Finance Office and Aeris Enterprises, Inc. The document seeks to obtain a sole source contract for upgrades and enhancements to the Nevada Executive Budget System (NEBS), with a total estimated contract value of $1,356,000. The contract term is from 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2029, focusing on modernizing the system by providing consistency across screens, enhancing user experience, and expanding reporting capabilities.

The waiver justification emphasizes that Aeris Enterprises is the only vendor with the unique technical knowledge and source code understanding to perform these specific system upgrades. The contract will be funded through state appropriations, with no federal funds involved. Previous contracts with this vendor include NEBS system maintenance and support, with contract values of $1,323,624 (8/13/2013 to 6/30/2021) and $456,256 (7/1/2021 to 6/30/2025).
