RFI-Employee Airline Travel Program

The State of Nevada Department of Administration, Purchasing Division is issuing a Request for Information (RFI 99SWC-S4033) to solicit details on airline travel programs and pricing models available to state employees, with responses due November 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. This RFI will not result in a contract award; it is market research to inform potential future procurement strategy and budget justification.

The State seeks information on airline pricing models, negotiated discounts, government airfare programs, fare flexibility, baggage and ancillary fee treatment, flight availability, booking and distribution channels, integration with travel management companies and online booking tools, reporting and data capabilities, traveler assistance during service disruptions, account management, customer service commitments, contract terms, and potential sustainability reporting. Responses should address implementation and ongoing support costs for a potential airline travel solution, though no specific pricing requirements or budget allocations are stated in the RFI.

All submissions must be made through NevadaEPro, with technical and cost information submitted separately and flagged as confidential. Questions are due October 16, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., with answers posted on or about October 23, 2026. The State anticipates that any future contract resulting from this market research could involve travel by employees of multiple state agencies and potentially other authorized entities, subject to applicable Nevada law. Current travel arrangements are governed by Nevada statutes, regulations, State Administrative Manual provisions, and various agency-specific policies.
