Summary: Sole Source Justification Document

This is a sole source procurement justification document for the State of New Mexico related to sports streaming services. The document supports the exclusive contract award to Sports Primo for broadcasting high school sports in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sports Primo holds exclusive rights from the New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA) and the NFHS Network to provide online sports streaming services in the specified jurisdiction. The justification establishes that no other online sports streaming companies possess the legal authorization to deliver these broadcast services, making Sports Primo the only viable vendor capable of fulfilling the requirement. The procurement follows New Mexico's sole source contracting procedures due to the exclusive nature of the underlying broadcast rights held by the vendor.

The document substantiates the determination that competitive bidding is not practicable and that Sports Primo's exclusive licensing agreements with NMAA and NFHS Network create a unique market condition where no alternative sources exist to provide the requested service. The sole source justification addresses the statutory and regulatory requirements for awarding contracts without open competition when exclusivity circumstances are present. This procurement approach allows the State of New Mexico to secure high school sports broadcasting capabilities through the only authorized provider in the region.
