About this file

This document is a New Mexico State University (NMSU) Procurement Services Sole Source Justification form for Terra Dotta Inc, covering an annual license and hosting fee for the Terra Dotta Software Platform. The platform includes solutions for Study Abroad, International Students and Scholars, and Alert Traveler applications. The total dollar amount of the procurement is $92,717, and the justification is based on the product's unique design and performance specifications that are essential to the university's work needs and not available in comparable products.

The sole source procurement is justified by the explanation that Terra Dotta is already implemented at NMSU, and switching systems would be too costly. The document indicates that the procurement meets the requirements of the New Mexico Procurement Code 13-1-126 and follows NMSU's Business Procedures Manual. The form is routed through the Aggie Service Center, with approvals from Mercedez Rodriguez as the requestor and Gabriela Cisneros as the Director/Department Head, and final official approval from Procurement Services.
