Nevada Government eMarketplace (NGEM)
NGEM allows contractors and suppliers to register in one central location to receive requests for bids or proposals from all participating entities, free of charge. We expect additional entities to join NGEM in the future, further increasing the value to suppliers. In addition to centralized registration, NGEM allows for online publishing of solicitations by the participating entities, and online submission of bids or proposals by offerors. This is a first in Nevada public contracting, and we believe our suppliers and contractors will be as pleased as we are with the time and materials savings, increased efficiency, electronic record keeping and more. NGEM is administered by staff from all participating government entities, and does not have its own offices or budget.
