Solicitation Waiver, Testing Fee Software

The State of Nevada's Department of Administration Purchasing Division is seeking a sole source procurement waiver for the Nevada Real Estate Division (RED) to customize Tyler Technologies' existing Shaef (SaaS) system. The specific procurement addresses a Governor's Fiscal Office mandate requiring the implementation of a system that can collect testing fees and automatically deposit proceeds daily to the state's bank account. The primary deliverable is a one-time customization service to modify the existing software platform, with a specific requirement to have the system fully operational by June 2025. Tyler Technologies is the sole provider capable of performing these modifications, as the system is a proprietary Commercial-off-the-Shelf (SaaS) solution. The procurement timeline indicates a contract term from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027, with a total contract value of $50,800. The solicitation was posted on March 21, 2025, with a response deadline of March 31, 2025. Critical objectives include meeting the Governor's Fiscal Office mandate, ensuring daily fee collection and deposit capabilities, and maintaining compliance with state financial reporting requirements.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations or specific enterprise requirements. Tyler Technologies is positioned as the exclusive vendor for this project, with no alternative service providers identified. The system modification will integrate with existing state financial infrastructure, specifically targeting the enhancement of testing fee collection processes. Tyler Technologies will waive support and maintenance fees, which represents an additional cost savings of approximately $37,000 for the agency. The procurement will be funded through state appropriated funds, and the waiver justification emphasizes that without this specific modification, the agency would be unable to meet the mandated requirements, potentially risking violation of state statutes. The total project investment of $50,800 represents a targeted, specific enhancement to the state's existing technological infrastructure, focused on improving financial transaction and reporting capabilities.
