About this file
This document is a Proposed Sole Source Purchase Form from the University of New Mexico Hospitals (UNMH) submitted on May 19, 2025, seeking to renew the existing Bed Management Software from TeleTracking Technologies, Inc. The procurement involves recurring services for TransferCenter, BetTracking, PreAdmiTracking, and TransportTracking Software Systems, with an initial contract term of one year and options to renew. The software supports patient placement management and environmental services tracking within the inpatient hospital environment, and has been deployed at UNMH for over seven years.
The total estimated contract value is $498,808.92 annually, with TeleTracking identified as the sole source provider due to their proprietary software development and unique understanding of the existing system. The sole source justification emphasizes that changing vendors would cause significant disruption to patient care, require extensive staff retraining, and incur substantial conversion costs. The procurement is being processed through the UNM Purchasing Department, which will post the form on the UNM Sunshine Portal and State of New Mexico Procurement website for 30 days prior to purchase, in compliance with New Mexico procurement law.

II. BASIS FOR SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT. CHOOSE APPLICABLE BOX(ES) AND
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, AS REQUESTED:
☐ Proprietary item, technology or service only available from the proposed vendor. (Check box and describe proprietary component)
Teletrcaking is the proprietary developer of the Bed Management Software System for which the UNMH retains the license to use and for which Teletracking vendor is the sole owner of the Bed Management developed content. As the creators of the proprietary Bed Management Software System, Teletracking possesses unique knowledge and understanding of the applications which allows them to optimize its maintenance and support services. Teletracking is the only source for providing support, development and maintenance to its software products.
☐ Compatibility requirement with existing item, technology or service. (Check box and describe compatibility requirement) mailto:Tfin@salud.unm.edu http://purchase.unm.edu/department-information/comm-code-listing.pdf
☒ Renewal of support/maintenance/subscription of software, technology or other intellectual property. (Check box and describe)
This Sole Source includes the renewal of Software Support and Maintenance Agreement for the current Bed Management
Software, which has been installed used and already deployed within the UNMH environment and depends on it being maintained and supported by TeleTracking.
The proposed solution provides an upgrade path with the current vendor and thus knowledge of upgrade process and systems used for the upgrade. No other vendor has direct knowledge of the current system, the upgrade process, and the proposed system. The support needed for this critical upgrade will be best handled by the proposed vendor in supporting this required transition.
In addition, UNMH staff are already trained and familiar with the Bed Management Software System. The UNMH would endure significant training and implementation costs if it had to implement a new Solution. Also, the IT security measures to establish a new solution would cause a delay and interruption in patient services.
☐ Other Basis for Sole Source: Please describe below:
III. SUPPLEMENTAL DETAILS. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS
REQUESTED BELOW:
Describe in detail the unique capabilities of the proposed vendor’s goods/service and/or personnel performing the work and why this constitutes the only source. Focus on what is unique about the goods/service and why no other vendor could meet your needs.
As the creators of the proprietary Bed Manager software modules, Teletracking possesses unique knowledge and understanding of the applications which allows them to optimize the maintenance and support for its Software that is already deployed and used at the UNMH. TeleTracking is the only source for providing maintenance to their software products.
Describe the due diligence made to locate other possible sources including communications with other universities, communications with similar providers, web searches, yellow page searches, review of advertisements and trade publications, etc.
Teletracking was awarded a Contract for its BedManagment Software via Request For Proposal RFP P236-13 (“RFP”).
Teletracking was the selected vendor in the RFP process, and its Software Solutions were implemented and configured within the UNMH environment. The sole source is for maintenance of the existing software or expansion of existing seats and license for existing software.
No other vendors were contacted as the disruption to patient care and potential costs associated with changing vendors would not be viable based on the ongoing use of this product.
List the other vendors who were contacted. Please describe the specs/qualifications/criteria that the other vendors were unable to satisfy.
No other vendors were contacted, as this is a renewal of Bed Management Software System that has already been implemented and used by UNMH and Teletracking is the only source for providing maintenance to their software products.
Purchasing competitive products would take a substantial amount of time to convert from one product to another with a great cost impact to UNMH. Switching to another vendor significantly impacts continuity of care and cost of changing vendors would significantly impact UNMH. In addition, production activity would be greatly affected as UNMH staff would be required to covert programs and training would be required.
