2026-11-03

The Nevada Division of State Lands ( NDSL ) is seeking to upgrade , modernize , and enhance our in - house Land Management System ( LMS ). LMS is the agency ' s project management system for processing land acquisition , lease , and disposal projects ; processing third - party land use and occupancy applications ; invoicing the agency ' s fees ; housing current and historical land transaction documents and records ; reporting ; and providing public access to NDSL maps and property information . LMS is a customized software system built by Websoft in 2011 . During NDSL ' s 2021 Budget Hearing , NDSL heard testimony from legislators who noted the age of LMS , and cautioned NDSL to proactively modernize its system to ensure its security and integrity . In 2022 , under the guidance of the State Purchasing Division and the Governor ' s Technology Office , NDSL solicited quotes from contractors to identify a reasonable cost to include in the agency ' s biennial budget request . In 2023 , NDSL ' s requested appropriation for the database modernization project was approvedfor FY24 - 25 . In partnership with the Purchasing Division , NDSL opened a Requestfor Proposals ( RFP ), which resulted in six bids . ENKON Information Systems was selected as the successful bidder due to its lowcost proposal and an " offthe shelf "( i . e ., not custom ) product that promised a quick data migration to a fully functioning and built software program called LIS . Websoft wasas the second - place bidder in the RFP solicitation . Over the following 18 months , with status update requests from the Legislative Counsel Bureau as well as Legislative approval to carry forward unspent funds to FY26 , NDSL learned the system migration from LMS to LIS was highly complicated and time consuming due to the number and variety of LMS records . NDSL also faced a long road of re - building in LIS the same tools ( project management , record keeping , billing , reporting , mapping , etc .) NDSL already has in LMS . NDSL determined further expense in this direction was not prudent , and with the oversight and guidance of the Purchasing Division and Attorney General ' s Office terminated the contract . LMS is robust and effective ; however , it is lacking in modern features and functionality . This contract with the original developer , Websoft , would provide cost - effective enhancements and modern features to ensure ongoing performance within an already working system . Currently , NDSL does not have authority to carry forward unspent funds to FY27 . Please note : This is a Sole Source Notification .
