Sale of IP Addresses/18 block

This is a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Nevada Library Cooperative, formerly known as the Cooperative Library Automated Network (CLAN), on behalf of the Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records (NSLAPR). The State is seeking a qualified broker or agent to facilitate the marketing, negotiation, sale, escrow, and transfer of an unused block of approximately 16,384 IPv4 internet addresses registered with the American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN). The selected vendor will be required to conduct industry research, analyze the market, identify potential buyers, negotiate the sale terms, manage the escrow and payment processes, and oversee the final transfer of the IP address block. The RFP outlines specific evaluation criteria, including the vendor's experience in comparable engagements, demonstrated competence, cost, conformance with the RFP terms, time to sale, and expertise and availability of key personnel. The deadline for proposal submission is July 12, 2022 at 2:00 pm Pacific Time.

The RFP is open to all interested vendors, with no set-aside or incumbent identified. The State awards a 5% preference to Nevada-based businesses and applies an inverse preference to vendors from states that have an in-state preference not afforded to Nevada-based vendors. The RFP includes mandatory minimum requirements, such as compliance with Nevada law and indemnification, as well as critical items that will be used to evaluate and score the proposals. No specific award value or budget range is provided, but similar-sized IPv4 address blocks have recently auctioned for over $850,000.
