EAB Appily Sole Source Pre-Award.pdf

This is a Sole Source Pre-Award justification document for the Educational Advisory Board (EAB) Appily software platform, issued by a New Mexico state agency. The procurement seeks to establish a contract for access to EAB Appily, a college and career readiness platform designed to support student advising and enrollment management. The document outlines the agency's determination that EAB Appily represents the sole source capable of meeting the specific technological and functional requirements identified for the state's educational initiatives, with the justification addressing the unique capabilities and integration needs that support the agency's strategic objectives. No specific contract term, renewal options, or implementation timeline is detailed in the available documentation.

The sole source justification emphasizes EAB Appily's distinctive features and the absence of viable competitive alternatives that can provide equivalent functionality for the state's requirements. The pre-award document supports the agency's decision to proceed with a non-competitive procurement process, indicating that market analysis and requirements assessment determined no other vendors could satisfactorily meet the defined specifications. Pricing terms, contract duration, funding sources, and specific budgetary allocations are not detailed within the scope of this pre-award justification, which primarily focuses on establishing the rationale for sole source procurement authority.
