The document is a sole source procurement file from the University of New Mexico (UNM) Purchasing Department for program traffic management services for New Mexico PBS (NMPBS)/KNME-TV. The contract will cover daily program log management and broadcasting automation across five NMPBS channels, ensuring continuous 24/7/365 television programming. The procurement is specifically for San Juan County and spans the contract period from March 5, 2025, to March 4, 2026, with a due date of March 14, 2025, and a posting date of February 14, 2025. Services include providing broadcast logs, software integration, and maintaining operational continuity for television programming using the specialized Protrack Traffic software.

The proposed contract is valued at $60,000.00 for the one-year service period, with TRAC Media identified as the sole source vendor. The sole source justification is based on the vendor's unique expertise, specialized broadcasting software knowledge, and staff's previous experience at PBS stations. The procurement is primarily driven by the retirement of NMPBS's full-time Traffic manager and the critical need to maintain continuous broadcasting capabilities. No alternative vendors were identified due to the highly specialized nature of the public television broadcasting software and requirements. The contract will be posted on the UNM Sunshine Portal and the State of New Mexico Procurement website for the mandatory 30-day review period prior to purchase, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations.
