This is a Sole Source Justification document for the New Mexico state government related to an operational assessment service for the CNM Collaborative Review Process. The document supports a contract opportunity involving services to conduct an operational assessment using the CNM Collaborative Review Checklist and the CNM Panorama Assessment and Remediation Tool within the Brightspace Learning Management System, along with course remodeling services. The justification establishes the rationale for proceeding with a sole source procurement rather than competitive bidding, indicating that specific proprietary tools and intellectual property owned by CNM are integral to the requested services and that the vendor possesses unique expertise in implementing these specialized assessment methodologies.

The sole source justification addresses the procurement approach and identifies the unique qualifications and proprietary resources necessary to deliver the contracted services. By designating this as a sole source procurement, the agency has determined that competition is not practicable or would be inefficient given the specialized nature of the CNM Collaborative Review Checklist and Panorama Assessment tools. This procurement method streamlines the vendor selection process while ensuring that the organization receives services from a provider with direct knowledge of and access to the proprietary intellectual property required for successful implementation and operational assessment within the Brightspace learning environment.
