Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Vendors can object to no-bid contracts

Before a noncompetitive service contract, the state must do market research and write a justification. The notice and report must be posted online for at least 11 days before award. Any person can object within 11 days and state they can do the work. Within 20 days after an objection, the Administrator must cancel and compete the contract or post a written justification. An unsuccessful objector may appeal under NRS 333.370. By October 1 each year, the Administrator sends a compilation of these reports and objections to legislative and audit committees.

Up to 10-year state contracts, tighter extensions

Agencies can advertise and award contracts for supplies, materials, equipment, and services with terms up to 10 years, if stated up front. After the original term and any built‑in extension, the Administrator may allow one more extension of 4 years or less. The Administrator must first find it is in the state’s best interest and order the agency in writing to run a competitive process before that extension ends. If an agency ignores the order, the Administrator may still allow another short extension but must report to the Legislative Commission. The agency head must appear before the Commission to explain the failure to compete.
