The College of Southern Nevada is seeking a consultant for a salary equity study of its full-time academic faculty.
- **Government buyer:** Nevada System of Higher Education, on behalf of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN), through the Purchasing Department and Finance Division; the sample contract also identifies the Director of Purchasing.
- **Scope:** Analyze CSN compensation data using faculty experience—including experience at hire and years of CSN service—and educational attainment. The study is not a market comparison with peer institutions and is not intended to reset salary ranges.
  - CSN reports 550 full-time academic faculty, including 468 hired before the stated cutoff. Part-time/adjunct and administrative faculty are excluded.
  - Recommend salary adjustments, estimate related salary and benefits costs, and propose phased implementation priorities.
- **Deliverables and support:** Provide a transparent explanation of the methodology, examples of proposed adjustments, presentation and communication materials, and a final report for the Salary Equity Committee. Support committee and leadership reviews, anticipated five to ten mostly virtual meetings, and faculty appeals; additional written materials or ad hoc support may be requested.
- **Named vendors:** Prudential Global Network and Stevens Strategy are identified as providers of earlier salary equity studies, not as the current awardee. No current consultant is named.
- **OEMs:** None identified; this is a professional consulting-services opportunity, not a purchase of manufactured products.
- **Notable requirements:** Professional liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million annual aggregate; the selected consultant must also provide required insurance documentation and an active Nevada business license after award.
