This document is a Solicitation Waiver Justification and Request Form from the State of Nevada Department of Administration's Purchasing Division for the Nevada Commission on Ethics. The document seeks to procure a hosted Nevada Ethics Online Learning Management System from Tovuti, Inc. for a five-year contract period from 7/1/2025 to 6/30/2029. The system will include delivery of training contents, tracking of training performance, webinar sharing, quizzes, and other typical online learning management features, specifically tailored to ensure compliance with NRS and NAC 281A regulations.

The total estimated value of the service contract is $63,360.00, with funding comprised of 27% state appropriated funds ($17,107.20) and 73% local government funds ($46,252.80). The contract is being pursued as a sole source procurement, with the justification that the system was originally created for the Commission in 2023 and ensures continued compliance with training mandates. The vendor's solution already houses NCOE content, includes live webinar hosting capabilities, and provides essential technical assistance. An evaluation of potential competitors during the grant-funded phase revealed no alternative vendors could provide the required customization at a comparable price.
