Solicitation WaiverHazmat training on already owned proprietary rights, copyrighted system

The Nevada Office of Federal Assistance is seeking a noncompetitive contract award with Noble Supply and Logistics, LLC for hazmat training services based on proprietary rights and copyrighted system ownership. This solicitation waiver procurement bypasses standard competitive bidding procedures to proceed directly with sole-source contracting. The primary deliverable is hazmat training conducted on the vendor's proprietary and copyrighted training system, which is exclusively owned and operated by Noble Supply and Logistics, LLC. The key objective is to provide specialized training on this unique system, with the primary outcome being employee proficiency in hazmat protocols utilizing the specific proprietary platform. The contract requires compliance with Nevada Revised Statutes Section 333.700(7), which mandates approval from the Nevada State Board of Examiners (BOE) for all state service contracts. The due date for this solicitation is April 21, 2026, which serves as both the posting date and the deadline for this noncompetitive procurement.

The noncompetitive nature of this procurement inherently restricts participation to Noble Supply and Logistics, LLC, as the sole provider of training on the specified proprietary and copyrighted system. No alternative sources can legally provide training on this exclusive system, thereby satisfying statutory requirements for sole-source procurement justification. The solicitation waiver documentation, identified as 01GO-S3821.pdf, provides the formal authorization to proceed with this noncompetitive approach rather than issuing an open competitive solicitation. Current budget or award values are not explicitly stated in the available procurement documentation. The contract remains contingent upon approval from the Nevada State Board of Examiners prior to execution, representing the final authorization requirement for this service contract.
