Bentley Sole Source Signed.pdf

This is a Sole Source Pre-Award justification document for the State of New Mexico regarding a contract with Bentley Instruments Inc. The procurement involves the acquisition of Bentley software products and related services. The document outlines the technical justification for selecting Bentley as a sole source vendor, emphasizing the specialized nature of the software and its integration requirements with existing systems. The contract aims to provide essential surveying, infrastructure, and geospatial software solutions to support New Mexico's infrastructure development and management initiatives. No specific quantities, response dates, bid meetings, or site visits are detailed in this sole source justification, as the procurement bypasses competitive bidding procedures. The contract term and any renewal options are not specified in the available documentation.

The sole source justification centers on Bentley's unique position as the only vendor capable of providing the required software solutions with necessary compatibility and technical specifications for New Mexico's infrastructure projects. This procurement method was selected based on the technical uniqueness of the products and the impracticability of obtaining equivalent services from alternative vendors. The justification document supports the award without competitive bidding, reflecting cost-effectiveness and operational necessity. Specific pricing terms, funding sources, and contract amounts are not delineated in this pre-award justification document, as those details would typically appear in separate procurement documents or the final executed contract agreement.
