This is a UNM Proposed Sole Source Form submitted by the University of New Mexico Purchasing Department pursuant to New Mexico Procurement Law. The form documents a sole source procurement request for goods or services to be provided through Creativity Warehouse, a vendor offering adult pottery and clay art programming as well as other creative art classes. The proposed sole source procurement is for a unique 3-month membership program offered through UNM Continuing Education that includes access to pottery wheel classes and additional creative programming. Per New Mexico Procurement Law requirements, the completed 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 the purchase authorization.

The form requires UNM to establish the basis for sole source procurement by demonstrating that Creativity Warehouse is the only available source capable of meeting the institution's specific needs. The requesting department must provide detailed documentation of the vendor's unique capabilities, describe the due diligence conducted to identify alternative sources, and identify any other vendors contacted along with the specific qualifications or specifications those vendors were unable to satisfy. The form does not specify pricing, contract term details, renewal options, or funding source information in the available documentation, requiring the complete requisition and supporting procurement records to obtain those financial and administrative details.
