Solicitation Waiver Legal analysis, fiscal mgmt/oversight and consulting services

The Nevada Department of Education is seeking a noncompetitive contract with Alexander and Associates, Inc. for legal analysis, fiscal management and oversight, and consulting services. This solicitation, posted on April 30, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 11, 2026, is being pursued through a solicitation waiver that justifies bypassing the standard competitive bidding process. The specific deliverables, key objectives, required qualifications, and evaluation criteria are detailed in the attached Solicitation Waiver document. The procurement requires approval from the State Board of Examiners (BOE) pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 333.700(7), which mandates BOE oversight for all state service contracts. While the opportunity notice indicates the services are intended for Alexander and Associates, Inc., the attached S3867 document appears to be New York legislative text addressing procurement procedures rather than Nevada-specific solicitation details, making it unclear whether additional information regarding timelines, specific service scope, or deliverable milestones is available in the complete solicitation waiver.

The noncompetitive nature of this procurement restricts participation to the designated vendor, Alexander and Associates, Inc., eliminating the opportunity for other organizations, including disadvantaged enterprises or minority and women-owned business enterprises, to compete for this contract. As a noncompetitive sole-source award, no set-aside designations or competitive restrictions apply in the traditional sense, as the contract is being awarded directly to the specified incumbent contractor. The attached legislative documentation does not provide specific budget ranges or award values for this engagement. The contract will proceed following BOE approval and is expected to be finalized following the May 11, 2026 deadline, assuming the solicitation waiver justification meets the board's requirements for noncompetitive procurement. Organizations interested in understanding the rationale for the noncompetitive award or seeking alternative opportunities should review the complete Solicitation Waiver attachment for additional details regarding scope, contract value, and performance expectations.
