The procurement involves a one-year renewal of 12 distinct software modules, including Core Accounting, General Fixed Assets, Human Resources, Info-Link, Garnishments Module, Applicant Tracking Interface, Substitute Calling System interfaces, Employee Daily Time Entry, Online Shopping, Warehouse, and Absence & Substitute Management. The contract is being justified under section 13-1-126 and will undergo a mandatory 30-day review period before final award. The procurement covers the period from 06/2024 to 06/2025, with the actual subscription cycle running from 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. The solicitation is currently posted with a due date of July 3, 2025, providing potential respondents ample time to review the requirements and prepare necessary documentation.
The contract is a sole source procurement, which means it is restricted exclusively to Tyler Technologies as the sole provider of these specific software licenses and maintenance services. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The total contract value is $73,479.25, with individual module subscriptions ranging from $955.44 to $8,534.40. Payment terms are established at Net 30, and the vendor can be contacted for remittance questions through multiple communication channels. The software modules being renewed were originally established between 2017 and 2024, indicating a long-standing technological infrastructure that requires continued support and maintenance. The Purchasing Department has determined that this procurement method is appropriate given the exclusive nature of the software licenses and the critical technological support needed by Deming Public Schools.
New Mexico 7/3/25, 2:00 AM 6/3/25, 2:00 AM ALUMINUM SULFATE FOR EFFLUENT STREAM
The State of New Mexico is proceeding with a sole source procurement for aluminum sulfate for effluent stream treatment, with proposals due August 26, 2026. Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is the identified sole source vendor.
The justification for sole source rests on Veolia's position as the incumbent supplier, technical compatibility with existing effluent treatment systems, specialized expertise in aluminum sulfate supply for this application, and the necessity of maintaining consistent chemical supply standards for ongoing operations. The procurement bypasses competitive bidding to ensure service continuity and treatment efficacy without procurement delays.
No contract value, term length, pricing terms, or specific renewal options are disclosed in the available documentation.
New Mexico 8/26/26, 2:00 AM 8/17/26, 2:00 AM CONTRACT COUNSEL LUNA AND HIDALGO COUNTIES
The New Mexico Law Offices of the Public Defender Agency is seeking a sole source contract for legal counsel services in Luna and Hidalgo Counties within the 6th Judicial District. This procurement is for criminal defense representation of indigent clients across misdemeanor, juvenile, and felony cases, with services to be provided from March 15, 2026, through October 31, 2026. The selected contract counsel must meet thirteen specified criteria, including nine years of legal experience, active licensure in New Mexico (with licensure in other states such as Texas or California acceptable), completion of at least 24 trials as lead counsel, and current compliance with existing Law Offices of the Public Defender contracts. The agency conducted an extensive recruitment effort through an April 2025 Request for Proposals advertised in multiple newspapers, the State Bar Bulletin, social media, and professional legal associations; however, limited submissions were received, and direct recruitment efforts by the Director of Contract Counsel yielded no other willing attorneys to serve these counties. The due date for this solicitation is March 18, 2026, and the sole source determination will not become effective until the request has been posted for thirty calendar days without challenge and subsequently approved in writing by the State Purchasing Agent or the Secretary of the General Services Department, with certification and approval already obtained as of February 9, 2026.
This procurement contains a sole source designation with no apparent set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or organizational restrictions, indicating that only the identified contractor, Eric Montrose, a sole practitioner based in El Paso, Texas, is being pursued for this contract. Montrose currently holds an existing Law Offices of the Public Defender contract awarded in October 2025 and is willing to accept cases at the standard LOPD/CCLS contract rates. The contract value is $150,000.00 before tax, with an estimated tax of $7,312.50, bringing the total anticipated cost to approximately $157,312.50. The agency justifies this sole source approach by stating that without Montrose's agreement to serve, it will be forced to decline conflict cases in Luna and Hidalgo Counties due to insufficient available counsel willing to accept cases in these regions. No current Law Offices of the Public Defender office exists in these two counties, making Montrose's willingness to provide services critical to the agency's operational capacity.
