The Nevada Department of Emergency Management is seeking a professional service exemption to procure a cloud-based Grants Application and Management System from Zoomgrants (Grantanalyst.com, LLC). The solicitation is a waiver request for a specialized software solution that will support division staff and designated grant sub-recipients in managing grant processes. The proposed contract will cover a term from Board of Examiners (BOE) approval through June 30, 2027, with a one-time purchase designation. Key system requirements include financial tracking capabilities, SAS 70 Type II Certified data centers, custom software development, and data conversion functionalities. The procurement is scheduled with a posting date of March 3, 2025, and a response deadline of March 13, 2025, with the total estimated contract value set at $54,000 and to be fully funded through federal funds.

The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement is a direct waiver to replace the current vendor, Carahsoft-Submittable, which cannot provide required financial tracking services. Previous contracts with Zoomgrants demonstrate a history of engagement, including prior contracts valued at $55,000 (6/25/24-4/30/26), $40,500 (10/18/22-5/31/24), and $80,000 (1/30/20-6/30/22). The agency has determined that alternative grants management software options are significantly more expensive than their budget allows. The system's technical requirements suggest a need for robust grants management capabilities, with emphasis on data security, custom integration, and financial tracking features. No specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are noted in the available documentation.
