About this file

This is a Sole Source Request and Determination Form submitted by the Village of Los Lunas, New Mexico, for the procurement of water meters and related equipment from Ferguson Holdings Inc. dba Ferguson Enterprises LLC. The Village seeks to acquire residential and commercial water meters, chambers, radios, and monitoring equipment from Sensus, a Xylem brand product line, for a 12-month contract term. The procurement includes 1,000 residential meters (3/4-inch and 1-inch models), commercial meters in various sizes, 20 chamber units, radio transmission equipment, and optional acoustic monitoring services. Ferguson is identified as the sole authorized distributor of Sensus water products in New Mexico, with a confirmed letter from Sensus dated February 19, 2026, certifying that Ferguson Enterprises is the exclusive distributor and no other supplier is permitted to sell these products within the state.

The total contract value is $1,466,385.80 before tax, with pricing provided in Ferguson's quotation dated February 13, 2026. The sole source justification is based on Ferguson's exclusive distribution agreement with Sensus and the fact that any alternative brand of water meters would require complete system replacement and re-engineering at a cost of millions of dollars. The Village determined that other municipal water meter suppliers cannot fulfill this requirement due to the existing infrastructure utilizing Sensus equipment. The contract includes annual required fees for RNI SaaS services ($10,447.21) and Sensus Water Analytics ($14,286.60), with optional annual warranty and acoustic monitoring fees available. Terms are NET 10th PROX with immediate shipment within 48 hours, and the agency provided documentation of its due diligence review in determining that Ferguson is the sole source capable of meeting the contract requirements.

2021 Sole Source Form

STATE OF NEW MEXICO

SOLE SOURCE REQUEST AND DETERMINATION FORM

A sole source determination is not effective until the sole source request for determination has been posted for thirty (30) calendar days without challenge, and subsequently approved in writing by the State Purchasing Agent or, for Professional Services Agreements, the Secretary of the General Services Department. The foregoing requirement is regardless of whether the sole source request for determination has been signed by the Agency and/or the Contractor.

I. Name of Agency: Village of Los Lunas

Agency Chief Procurement Officer:

Water meters are needed for water consumption and monitoring how much is being used by each customer.

IV. Provide a detailed explanation of the criteria developed and specified by the agency as necessary to perform and/or fulfill the contract and upon which the state agency reviewed available sources. (Do not use “technical jargon;” use plain English. Do not tailor the criteria simply to exclude other contractors if it is not rationally related to the purpose of the contract.)

Ferguson Holdings Inc. dba Ferguson Enterprises LLC is the exclusive distributor in the state of New Mexico for Sensus water meters and accessories indicated on the sole source letter provided by Sensus.

V. Provide a detailed, sufficient explanation of the reasons, qualifications, proprietary rights or unique capabilities of the prospective contractor that makes the prospective contractor the one source capable of providing the required professional service, service, construction or item(s) of tangible personal property. (Please do not state the source is the “best” source or the “least costly” source. Those factors do not justify a “sole source.”)

Sole local source in the State of New Mexico.

VI. Provide a detailed, sufficient explanation of how the professional service, service, construction or item(s) of tangible personal property is/are unique and how this uniqueness is substantially related to the intended purpose of the contract.

Exclusive distributor of the Sensus line of water meters and accessories used by the Village of Los Lunas.

VII. Explain why other similar professional services, services, construction or item(s) of tangible personal property cannot meet the intended purpose of the contract.

Any other brand of water meters and accessories would require replacing and engineering of the whole system which would result in millions of dollars which is not budgeted at this time.

VIII. Provide a narrative description of the agency’s due diligence in determining the basis for the procurement, including procedures used by the agency to conduct a review of available sources such as researching trade publications, industry newsletters and the internet;;

contacting similar service providers; and reviewing the State Purchasing Divisions’ Statewide Price Agreements. Include a list of businesses contacted (do not state that no other businesses were contacted), date of contact, method of contact (telephone, mail, e-mail, other), and documentation demonstrating an explanation of why those businesses could not or would not, under any circumstances, perform the contract; or an explanation of why the agency has determined that no businesses other than the prospective contractor can perform the contract.

Water meters are used as part of the daily process control of monitoring water usage.

Without being able to repair/replace needed meters can result in lost revenue for the Village as well as water loss to customers. Sensus provides a list of available meter and accessory dealers in New Mexico, Ferguson being the sole municipal distributor.

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter confirms that Ferguson Enterprises is the sole authorized distributor of water products, including water meters, for the state of New Mexico for Sensus, a Xylem brand. No other distributor or third party is permitted to sell Sensus water products within New Mexico.
