The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) was created for the coordinated, orderly and economical processing of information in State Government, to ensure economical use of information systems and to prevent the unnecessary proliferation of equipment and personnel among the various state agencies (NRS 242.071).

As such, part of our responsibilities are to review and to give preliminary approval of State agency requests for IT contracts, IT solicitation waiver requests and IT consultants before they are presented to the Budget Office. Please note this includes grant funded projects and work programs with IT components.

In addition to the general review for technical and security evaluation, requests over $50,000.00, regardless of funding source, will also be reviewed to make sure they adhered to the agency’s Technology Investment Request (TIR) specifications and did, in fact, complete the TIR process.

The Model Contract Form, Contract Summary and Solicitation Waiver on the Purchasing website are to be used and include a line for DoIT’s review and approval. Agencies should send DoIT their contract, the contract summary form and all associated attachments for review prior to obtaining other signatures to avoid delays resulting from modifications and/or recommendations. Please note that DoIT requires a maximum of seven (7) days for review and approval although documents will be returned to agencies as quickly as possible.

Solicitation Waivers for IT contracts are to be submitted to the Purchasing Division. The Purchasing Division will then be responsible for submission of the waiver requests to DoIT as needed.
