Emergency Procurement Form

In rare situations, the Chief Procurement Officer may exempt a purchase from the competitive selection process when the purchase qualifies as an Emergency Procurement under NMSA 13-1-

127. An Emergency Procurement is defined as a serious threat to the functioning of government, the health and safety of any person or the preservation or protection of property. This threat would typically arise from floods, fires, epidemics, riots, acts of terrorism, equipment failures or similar events and includes the planning and preparing for an emergency response. The existence of the emergency condition creates an immediate and serious need for services, construction or items of tangible personal property that cannot be met through normal procurement methods.

An Emergency Procurement should not be used unless clearly necessary and justifiable. A

Department must obtain approval from the University’s Chief Procurement Officer in advance of an Emergency Procurement. Each Emergency Procurement form will be posted on the UNM

Sunshine Portal within 3 days.

UNM Department: Utility Services

Date Emergency Occurred: 7/24/24 Time: 00:00

Name & Title of Official in charge of affected department: Jeff Zumwalt

Describe in detail the condition or circumstance pertaining to the emergency. Also, describe how the condition IMMEDIATELY threatens either the functioning of government, the health or safety of any person or the protection and preservation of

UNM property:

The engine that powers one of UNM’s cogeneration machines to make power & heat for the university must be replaced. Solar Turbines is the only vendor that can do this. UNM has a replacement engine in line but must get a PO to the vendor soonest.

The inability to use this machine will incur an extra annual cost of $1.25M to the university for the purchase of external electrical power to make up for the lack of generation. It will also impair the university’s ability to guarantee heat in the winter due to the lack of the boiler attached to the exhaust of the engine.

Total (or estimated) cost of providing the goods/services: $

2,500,000
