About this file
This is a Proposed Sole Source Purchase Form submitted by the University of New Mexico (UNM) Purchasing Department for the procurement of quality chemicals used in treatment of boiler, chiller, and drinking water systems. The request was submitted by Dave Thomas, Supervisor of Utility Services, on September 3, 2026, under requisition number P0228702. The chemicals are required to support UNM's utility services operations, which supply drinking, heating, and cooling water to all campus facilities. The contract term is for fiscal year 2026/27. UNM conducted due diligence to identify alternative sources by conducting website searches of major retailers including Lowes, Home Depot, and Amazon, as well as chemical suppliers in the Albuquerque area. The sole source justification is based on the proposed vendor's unique capability as the only supplier able to provide quality chemicals in bulk quantities with delivery services, particularly caustic soda, which is essential for the university's large-scale water treatment systems.
The total procurement amount is $90,304.00, with $40,004.00 having been paid in prior periods and an additional $50,300.00 needed to cover anticipated invoices for the remainder of the fiscal year. The proposed vendor is PVS DX, located at P.O. Box 674937, Dallas, Texas 75267. Per New Mexico Procurement Law requirements, the completed sole source purchase form will be posted on the UNM Sunshine Portal and the State of New Mexico Procurement website for a 30-day public review period prior to purchase authorization.
