Open now. The Nevada System of Higher Education, on behalf of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has issued IFB 5584-GS, UNLV Emergency Phone Tower Installations and Upgrades. The official Nevada Government eMarketplace lists the bid closing as September 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM PT. The controlling bid document labels the same deadline as 2:00 PM PST.
The work covers installation and upgrades of emergency phone towers and associated campus safety and communications infrastructure at UNLV’s Main Campus and Shadow Lane Campus. The solicitation’s estimated project cost is approximately $850,000; that figure is an estimate, not a guaranteed contract ceiling or minimum.
Eligibility and participation: this is a Nevada public works procurement. A bidder must be qualified with the Nevada State Public Works Division for the required project cost category, register as a supplier in NGEM, and comply with applicable Nevada public works and apprenticeship requirements. The solicitation required bidders to attend and remain for both mandatory site walks held August 26 and August 27, 2026 in order to qualify to bid.
Submission: bids must be submitted electronically through NGEM. The server clock governs and late bids are not accepted. Bid security equal to 5% of the bid amount is required, with a copy uploaded through NGEM and the original deliverable if requested.
Required bid forms and package components: Pricing Response Form; Bid Response Form; subcontractor and Tier 2 supplier lists; subcontractor lists at the required percentage thresholds; Affidavit Pertaining to Preference Eligibility when applicable; Project Workforce Checklist; Request for Waiver or Confirmation Not Required Form; Availability Request Form; Form Contract; drawings; specifications; UNLV video surveillance standards; and UNLV emergency phone standards. Payment and performance bond forms are included in the controlling bid document.
Questions: the official cutoff was September 3, 2026 at 2:00 PM PT. The bid document lists September 10, 2026 as the last day for addenda. Bidders should confirm the complete current NGEM package and any addenda before submission.
Match or cost share: not applicable because this is a vendor and public works procurement.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The verified scope is emergency communications and security infrastructure and does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 42/100. The procurement is open and material, but the mandatory site walks have already occurred and no credible Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare direct vendor role is established by the verified scope.
