Prison Population Study

The State Purchasing Division of the Nevada Department of Administration, on behalf of the Budget Division of the Governor's Office of Finance (GFO), is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide a four-year prison population study. The selected contractor will be responsible for annually projecting the number of persons who will be housed in Nevada Department of Corrections facilities, on probation, on parole, and serving a term of residential confinement. The study must include detailed projections on the inmate population by custody level, race, gender, and age. Vendors must demonstrate competence, experience, and expertise of key personnel. Proposals will be evaluated based on conformance to the RFP terms, the vendor's qualifications, and cost. The initial contract term is four years, with an option to extend for an additional four years. Proposals are due by August 5, 2024, and the contract is expected to be approved by the Nevada State Board of Examiners in October 2024.

The procurement documents do not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. While a letter of intent has been issued to award the contract to Justice Planners, LLC, this is subject to successful contract negotiations and agency approval. The solicitation documents do not provide details on incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, technology requirements, award values, or budget ranges for this opportunity.
