This is a Sole Source Letter justifying a non-competitive procurement for the Goalbook Toolkit Product by the State of New Mexico. The letter establishes the rationale for sole source acquisition of the Goalbook Toolkit, a specialized educational software platform, explaining why competitive bidding is not feasible for this particular product. The document addresses the unique nature of the product and its specific capabilities that support the state's educational objectives. The procurement seeks to acquire continued access to or implementation of the Goalbook Toolkit system, with the sole source determination submitted to justify the direct award to the identified vendor without a competitive procurement process.

The sole source justification emphasizes the unique and specialized characteristics of the Goalbook Toolkit that make it the only viable solution available to meet New Mexico's specific requirements. The letter provides documentation supporting why alternative products or competitive procurement would not be practical or cost-effective, thereby establishing the legal and procedural basis for proceeding with a non-competitive award. This approach allows the state to proceed directly with vendor negotiation and contract execution while maintaining compliance with procurement regulations through proper sole source documentation and approval.
