Sole Source Procurements
In accordance with 13-1-126 thru 13-1-128 NMSA 1978, a contract may be awarded without competitive sealed bids or competitive sealed proposals regardless of the estimated cost when the County determines, in writing, that:
1) there is only one source for the required service, construction, or item of tangible personal property;
2) the service, construction or item of tangible personal property is unique and this uniqueness is substantially related to the intended purpose of the contract; and
3) other similar services, construction or items of tangible personal property cannot meet the intended purpose of the contract.
At least thirty (30) days before the contract is awarded, the County will post notice of the intent to award a sole source contract on this webpage containing the contractor’s name, address, amount, term of contract and a listing of services, construction or items of tangible personal property and justification for the procurement method.
Any qualified potential contractor who was not awarded a sole source contract for services, construction, or items of tangible personal property may protest to the County. The protest shall be submitted in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of the notice of intent date.
Protests shall be submitted to:
