About this file

This document is a Sole Source Justification Form from New Mexico Highlands University (NMHU) Purchasing Department for a software subscription renewal with Evisions. The procurement is for a renewal of Evisions Argos Enterprise software, which includes multiple components such as Scheduling & Delivery, Free Form SQL, OLAP, API, Interactive Charts, DataBlock Connector, Cloud Connector, Salesforce Connector, and Clustering 3 nodes. The total proposed procurement amount is $70,000, and the renewal is critical for maintaining the university's current reporting infrastructure that integrates with their existing ERP/SIS system using Ellucian Identity Server.

The sole source justification emphasizes that Evisions is the sole provider of this proprietary software, and discontinuing the maintenance would require significant time and financial investment to replace the system and potentially disrupt ongoing projects and state/federal compliance reporting requirements. The document indicates that the procurement will be posted on the University's website and the State of New Mexico's Sunshine Portal for at least 30 calendar days, during which potential vendors can submit protests. The renewal is recommended to preserve the university's current technological ecosystem and avoid substantial transition costs associated with implementing an alternative reporting solution.

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.

Text8: No. This renewal is for maintenance, and subscription of Evisions Argos Enterprise, Scheduling & Deliver, Free Form SQL, OLAP, API, Interactive Charts, DataBlock Connector, Cloud Connector, Salesforce Connector, Clustering 3 nodes. Evisions Argos products are integrated with our ERP/SIS utilizing Ellucian Identity Server. We also have ongoing projects that were designed specifically around Argos functionality.
Text9: As stated, Evisions is the University’s report writing software. Not renewing this maintenance would mean the University would lose its’ investment and have to invest in another report writer for this service. This would involve selecting another report writing solution that integrates succinctly with our ERP/SIS and converting the data to a new system which would take a considerable investment of time and money. Selecting a different solution would also impact current projects in progress and disrupt scheduled reports that are required to meet state and federal compliance requirements. It is recommended that we continue the agreement.
Text10: None, the product(s) are owned by Evisions and they are the sole provider for maintenance for their product(s).
Text11: No. None.
Text12: The University utilizes Evisions for critical data reports related to university operations, state and federal compliance reporting requirements.
