Random Number Generator

This is an informal solicitation from the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) for a qualified vendor to provide a random number generator (RNG) to determine which qualified applicants in a cannabis licensing round will proceed to the next phase of the process. The selected vendor will be responsible for using the RNG in a transparent manner to assign unique identification numbers to each qualified applicant, and to determine which 10 applicants for independent cannabis consumption lounge licenses and 10 applicants for social equity cannabis consumption lounge licenses will proceed. The vendor may be required to conduct additional determinations using the RNG due to limitations imposed by local jurisdictions. The CCB estimates receiving approximately 500 initial qualified applicants for the first licensing round, which is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2022. The awarded contract will be administered by the CCB and is anticipated to commence in June 2022. The proposal must include the vendor's contact information, company ownership and length of business, total cost for initial set up, testing, and use of the RNG, as well as any proposed costs for additional use of the RNG. The CCB is seeking a vendor to act as an independent contractor with experience in meeting the needs of agencies. The contract will include an indemnification clause, and future limited licensing rounds for cannabis establishments may be similarly conducted using the selected vendor's RNG.

The CCB has not designated any set-aside requirements for this procurement. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors listed, and no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget range for this contract has not been disclosed.
