Description
The State of Nevada is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to improve the State's understanding regarding the use, implementation, and development of Circular Economy/Materials Circularity practices and concepts for Nevada's hospitality and tourism industry. The selected vendor will be required to conduct research, identify roadblocks and opportunities, and develop recommendations for implementing Circular Economy practices in the industry. The vendor will also create a framework for studying other Nevada sectors/industries in future similar studies. The project is expected to start in March 2026 and end in September 2026. The key tasks and objectives of the project include: conducting a kick-off meeting and on-going project update meetings, researching the current state of circular economy practices in the hospitality and tourism sector, identifying roadblocks and opportunities, and creating a framework for studying other sectors.
