Evaluation criteria will include price, conformity to specifications, financial capability, previous performance, and other objective factors.

The procurement opportunity appears to have provisions for various business types, with the Supplier Application/Update Form providing options for minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses to self-identify. The district requires vendors to disclose their Nevada and Clark County resident employee counts and provides opportunities for diverse business participation. While specific set-aside percentages are not explicitly detailed, the documentation suggests a preference for local and diverse suppliers. The equipment inventory spans 159 school sites across three regions, with a diverse range of cooling system configurations that will require specialized water treatment services. Although precise contract value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the bid covering 526 closed loop systems and 100,000 tons of water treatment suggests a significant potential contract value. Pricing is structured to be fixed for the first two years, with potential adjustments thereafter based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. Suppliers must complete multiple compliance forms, including federal certifications, conflict of interest disclosures, and emergency contact information, indicating a rigorous vendor qualification process.
