Solicitation Waiver Update to 2023 Ecosystem Report

The Nevada Department of Transportation is seeking a noncompetitive contract with Nemequ Analytics LLC to update the 2023 fuel ecosystem analysis and report previously completed by the same contractor. This is a sole-source procurement utilizing a Solicitation Waiver under Nevada Revised Statutes 333.700(7), which bypasses competitive bidding procedures based on the justification that competitive procurement is not practicable for this specialized engagement. The primary deliverable is an updated version of the existing 2023 ecosystem report, leveraging Nemequ Analytics LLC's prior expertise and familiarity with the original analysis. The key objective is to refresh the fuel ecosystem analysis with current data and insights while maintaining continuity with the original report framework. The contractor qualification requirement centers on demonstrated experience with the prior 2023 ecosystem report and technical competency in fuel ecosystem analysis. The solicitation was posted on March 18, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 30, 2026. No additional information regarding evaluation criteria, site visits, bidders' conferences, or response deadlines for questions is provided in the available documentation.
