A brief description of the program:
Recent changes in the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) procedures manual was promulgated to state institutions. UNLV, a member of NSHE, has adopted this policy as its own and has begun its implementation. The policy states that for purchases exceeding $1 million part of the bid evaluation may include projected spending by the prime contractor with local businesses. Additionally, the prime contractor must report expenditures with, among other groups, local businesses. Another measure to encourage the participation of local businesses is the requirement of a Nevada business license for all purchase orders and contracts.
UNLV has created a process embracing the language now included in NSHE guidelines. Specifically, language in our formal solicitation boilerplates has been added which aligns with the new policy. Additionally, the Purchasing departments buying staff verifies Nevada business license status prior to issuing each purchase order or executing a contract.
