Nevada Youth Training Center Quarterly Meat Solicitation

Nevada Youth Training Center is soliciting quarterly meat quotes on the NevadaEPro platform, with quotes due September 15, 2026. A 5% price preference applies to Nevada-based businesses certifying a majority of goods are produced in Nevada; an additional 5% preference applies to veteran-owned businesses with service-connected disabilities for contracts valued between $50,000 and $500,000, and these preferences cannot be combined.

Vendors must submit itemized pricing through the NevadaEPro online bidding system, completing required fields for unit costs, discount percentages, and freight charges. All quotes are entered as numerical values without commas; vendors may indicate "No Charge" items or select "No Bid" for items they do not wish to quote. Descriptive data and printed specifications must accompany quotes. All equipment must be new only; used, refurbished, demo, prototype, or gray market equipment is prohibited.

Pricing quoted is free on board destination with freight prepaid unless otherwise specified and remains irrevocal for the contract term and any extensions. The contract may extend up to two years from award with possible annual extensions if conditions are specified in the solicitation and the Purchasing Division determines extension is in the State's best interest. Payment occurs within 30 to 45 days of invoice receipt and agency approval.

Awards are made to the lowest responsible bidder based on evaluation factors including location, quality, total cost of ownership, specification conformity, purpose, and delivery dates. Vendors must comply with OSHA standards, anti-discrimination requirements under Nevada law, and certify they will not engage in boycotts of Israel. All vendors must obtain applicable state permits and licenses and maintain current tax obligations. Quote validation errors must be resolved before submission; vendors receive email confirmation upon successful submission.
