This is a sole source justification document prepared by a New Mexico school district for the procurement of a computer-assisted mathematics instructional program. The purchase is intended to provide K-12 students with access to a supplemental mathematics learning and assessment platform that enhances core classroom instruction. The program will deliver additional learning opportunities to students through computer-assisted instruction, enabling individualized pacing and targeted skill development. The sole source justification indicates that the selected vendor possesses unique qualifications or capabilities that make alternative solutions unavailable or unsuitable for the district's specific educational needs and student population requirements.

The document establishes the rationale for bypassing the competitive bidding process based on the vendor's exclusive ability to meet the district's technical and pedagogical specifications. Pricing terms, contract duration, and implementation timelines would be negotiated directly with the selected provider. This procurement approach prioritizes immediate access to the specified instructional program over the extended timeline typically required for formal competitive solicitation, reflecting the district's assessment that the benefits of rapid deployment outweigh the advantages of competitive procurement.
