Nevada State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) Indicator 8 and 14 Survey Collecti

The State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division is seeking proposals for Nevada State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR) Indicator 8 Parent Involvement Survey and Indicator 14 Post-School Outcomes Survey services. The contract aims to establish comprehensive survey collection and reporting mechanisms for educational performance indicators, requiring vendors to develop written procedures, conduct survey outreach, record and analyze responses, and increase survey participation rates. Key deliverables include establishing documented guidance, utilizing proven survey methods, meeting all methodology and reporting requirements for Indicators 8 and 14, ensuring data security, and maintaining regular communication with the Nevada Department of Education's Office of Inclusive Education. Evaluation criteria will focus on vendor qualifications, proposed staff expertise, and cost proposals, with a 5% preference given to Nevada-based businesses. The RFP was posted on October 11, 2024, with proposals due by November 12, 2024, at 2:00 pm Pacific Time, and the State anticipates contract award on or about December 17, 2024. The anticipated contract term is four years, subject to Board of Examiners approval.

The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned in the documentation, and there are no stated restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Vendors must provide comprehensive company information, including licensing details, potential conflicts of interest, and authorization for payment processing. The total anticipated contract cost is $450,000.00, which will be allocated across the four-year contract term. Vendors must register as a foreign corporation and obtain a Nevada business license prior to contract execution, and they are required to maintain proposed pricing for at least 180 days. Additionally, vendors must disclose any prior or ongoing contract failures, litigation, or issues that could impact their ability to fulfill the contract. The State reserves the right to require vendor presentations during the evaluation process and will apply an inverse preference to vendors from states that do not provide a similar preference to Nevada-based businesses.
