Auction Services

The State of Nevada, Purchasing Division is seeking proposals for auction services to be utilized by state agencies statewide. The contract will cover both live and online auctions, with vendors required to conduct at least two live public auctions per year in Reno and three in Las Vegas. Vendors must advertise any auctions containing property valued at $1,000 or more within 15 days of the auction date. Proposals are due by October 2, 2020 and the contract term will be four years with an option for two one-year renewals. The contract will be mandatory for state agencies but optional for the University and Community College System, the Court System, the Legislative Counsel Bureau, and Political Subdivisions. Vendors must disclose all fees to be charged to both the State and the buyer, and the State will not pay in advance of services provided.

The state and local contract opportunity covers the entire state of Nevada, including the jurisdiction of Clark County. The RFP indicates that the State intends to award the contract to TNT Auction of Nevada, Inc., though the procurement is still open. No specific budget or award value is provided, but vendors must maintain insurance coverage for the duration of the contract. The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
