Solicitation Waiver Training exercise

The Nevada Office of Emergency Management/Homeland Security is seeking a noncompetitive contract with The CNA Corporation for training exercises through a Solicitation Waiver procurement process. This sole-source procurement approach is authorized under Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) 333.700(7) and requires approval from the State Board of Examiners (BOE) prior to contract execution. The solicitation was posted on May 14, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 25, 2026. The state has determined that CNA Corporation possesses specialized expertise and capabilities that are uniquely suited to deliver the required training exercises, though the specific deliverables, detailed objectives, performance outcomes, and required qualifications are contained within the attached Solicitation Waiver document (01GO-S3889.pdf). The justification for the noncompetitive approach and any associated evaluation criteria are detailed in the waiver documentation that accompanies this solicitation.

This procurement is restricted to a sole-source award with The CNA Corporation and does not involve competitive bidding or open competition. No information regarding set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned or minority-owned business enterprises, or other special classifications has been identified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not indicate an incumbent vendor or current contractor status for this particular requirement. The specific contract value, budget range, or award amount is not disclosed in the posted materials. All service contracts of this nature require State Board of Examiners approval as mandated by Nevada law before the noncompetitive contract with CNA Corporation can be executed.
