NMHU PURCHASING DEPARTMENT

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION FORM

A sole source procurement is one for which only one vendor is capable of or allowed to perform a particular service and/or construction or for a tangible item that can be offered by only one vendor. A sole source procurement must comply with §13-1-126 and §13-1-128 N.M.S.A. 1978 and all other state statutes and federals pertaining to sole source procurements.

Submittal of this form is one of the steps required prior to approval of the procurement (approved via issuance of a purchase order). If this procurement is approved by the NMHU Purchasing Department it will then be posted onto the University’s website and the State of New Mexico’s Sunshine Portal. The posting will be for no less than thirty (30) calendar days. If a potential vendor submits a protest against a sole source procurement within that timeframe, the sole source will not be awarded until, and if the protest is resolved.

This form must be completed in its entirety. If it is not completed in its entirety it will not be accepted and will be returned to the requestor.
