The document is a 2025 Sole Source Certification from Northern New Mexico College (NNMC) for a specialized metrology equipment procurement. The college is pursuing a one-time purchase of a Hexagon Absolute Arm V3P, 8320, 7-Axis measurement system, which includes a portable base station, laptop, training package, and associated accessories. The procurement is valued at $60,000 and is specifically focused on acquiring a high-precision 3D measurement and inspection system. The contract opportunity was posted on April 1, 2025, with a response deadline of May 1, 2025, and is associated with Luna County in New Mexico.

The sole source justification is primarily based on Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence being the exclusive manufacturer of the Absolute Arm in the United States. The procurement criteria emphasize high precision, portability, measurement flexibility, system reliability, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. The contract is unrestricted in terms of vendor set-asides and does not explicitly outline disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. The procurement is a direct, single-transaction purchase specifically tailored to Hexagon's unique metrology equipment capabilities, which effectively precludes alternative vendors from participating. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are mentioned beyond the specified Hexagon system.
