RFP for Security and Life Safety Systems
Release Date: October 22, 2012
Deadline: December 20, 2012 at 2pm PT
The State of Nevada Purchasing Division, on behalf of the WSCA/NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization, is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide the following statewide services on an as-needed basis:
Burglar Alarms;
Fire Suppression;
CCTV; and
Access Control Systems.
The WSCA/NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization is a cooperative group-contracting consortium for state government departments, institutions, institutions of higher education, agencies, and political subdivisions (i.e., colleges, school districts, counties, cities, etc.) for the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the organized US territories. WSCA/NASPO is a subset of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). NASPO is a non-profit association dedicated to strengthening the procurement community through education, research, and communication. It is made up of the directors of the central purchasing offices in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of the United States.
Under terms of the WSCA/NASPO Cooperative Memorandum of Agreement, all fifty states and the District of Columbia may participate in this potential contract at their option and in accordance with their statutory requirements and rules.
Obligations under contracts that result from this cooperative procurement are limited to those states and other eligible purchasing entities that execute a Participating Addendum.
Financial obligations of Participating States are limited to the orders placed by the departments or other state agencies and institutions having available funds. Participating States incur no financial obligations on behalf of political subdivisions.
Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation or by the Participating States, the resulting master price agreement(s) will be permissive. These contracts will be mandatory for the State of Nevada. The Nevada University and Community College System, the Court System, the Legislative Counsel Bureau, and Political Subdivisions (i.e., cities, counties, school districts, etc.) may use the contract(s) resulting from this RFP; however, they are not required to do so.
The State may award one (1) or more contracts in conjunction with this RFP as determined to be in the best interests of the Participating States. Proposals being solicited are for all items at all locations within each Participating State included in this RFP. Vendors may submit a proposal for any one item, a multiple of items, or all items at the vendor's option. Vendors are also invited to submit a proposal for just one state, multiple states, or all states, at the vendor's discretion.
It is the intention of the State to award contract(s) on a statewide basis for each Participating State. Vendor's proposal must identify the geographic region(s) in which services are being offered. While the primary purpose of this solicitation is to select vendor(s) who can offer the services for all Participating States, vendor(s) are permitted to submit a proposal for more limited geographical areas; however, proposals may not include less than one entire Participating State. Vendors must clearly describe the geographical limits (e.g. by State name) if proposing a geographical area less than that of all Participating States. Vendors proposing services for any state must be willing to supply the entire state. Vendors will not be permitted to add additional states following contract award, or at any time during the term of the contract (including any contract extensions).
The WSCA/NASPO sourcing team reserves the right to consider awarding contract(s) item by item, or contract(s) for all items and proposed geographic coverage at the sole discretion of the sourcing team after determining what is in the best interests of WSCA/NASPO. After contract awards are completed, any individual state may issue a participating addendum to any one or a multiple of vendors who are awarded a contract under this solicitation, depending on what is in the best interests of that individual state.
