New Mexico 10/31/25, 12:00 AM 10/1/25, 12:00 AM MARQ IS A WEB-BASED DESIGN AND BRANDING PLATFORM THAT PROVIDES TOOLS FOR UNM HEALTH SCIENCES STAFF AND CLINICIANS TO PRODUCE ON-BRAND MARKETING COLLATERAL, INCLUDING FLYERS, BROCHURES, PRESENTATIONS, DIGITAL CREATIVE, NEWSLETTERS AND PUBLICATIONS. THESE I
The University of New Mexico (UNM) Health Sciences department is pursuing a sole source procurement for Marq, a web-based design and branding platform that provides software licensing and design tools for staff and clinicians. The procurement involves acquiring software to enable the creation of marketing collateral such as flyers, brochures, presentations, digital creative, newsletters, and publications. The contract will run from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with a total value of approximately $57,000. UNM seeks to expand its existing licensing to meet increasing demand for design and marketing tools, with a specific focus on maintaining branding consistency and operational efficiency for the Health Sciences marketing team. The platform has been in use since 2020, during which time nearly 20,000 projects have been created, and hundreds of personnel have been trained on its tools. UNM conducted research on alternative platforms like Canva and Adobe Express but determined that recreating their current workflow and knowledge base would be prohibitively expensive and complex.
The procurement appears to be unrestricted, with no specific set-aside designations or limitations on responding organizations mentioned in the documentation. Marq is the sole source vendor for this contract, justified by the platform's unique capabilities and UNM's significant existing investment in the system, including extensive template and asset development. The contract does not indicate any requirements for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor restrictions. The existing technology infrastructure involves a web-based design platform with comprehensive branding and design tools, which UNM has already integrated into its workflow. The budget for this procurement is clearly defined at approximately $57,000 for the one-year contract period, covering software licensing and platform access for UNM Health Sciences staff and clinicians. The procurement is scheduled to be initiated on July 1, 2024, with a submission deadline of July 26, 2025, for the proposed sole source purchase.

The University of New Mexico (UNM) is seeking a sole source procurement of the Amplatzer Piccolo PDA Occluder, a specialized medical device for pediatric cardiovascular surgery, specifically designed for Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) closure in premature infants weighing 700 grams and above. The procurement targets Abbott as the exclusive vendor, with the device being the only FDA-approved product of its kind in the United States. Key technical specifications include an extremely low-profile 4 F catheter delivery system, a self-expanding design for precise PDA closure, a tightly woven single-layer mesh, and a flexible delivery cable enabling accurate positioning. The contract is proposed for a three-year term with an annual value of $70,000 and potential renewals consistent with New Mexico Procurement Code. The opportunity is open to vendors within Bernalillo County and Albuquerque City, with a posted date of June 26, 2025, and a submission deadline of July 26, 2025. The procurement will undergo a mandatory 30-day review period, during which the document will be posted on the UNM Sunshine Portal and New Mexico Procurement website.
The sole source procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Abbott, located at 8701 Bee Cave Road in Austin, Texas, is the sole identified vendor for this specialized medical device. An extensive web search was conducted to confirm no alternative vendors could meet the specific medical device requirements, which supports the sole source justification. The proposed contract value indicates a total potential three-year investment of $210,000, with the possibility of future renewals. The procurement is specifically for the Amplatzer Piccolo PDA Occluder, which represents a highly specialized medical technology with unique engineering characteristics that meet precise pediatric surgical needs. The document was electronically signed by Jeffrey Gilmore on June 26, 2025, further validating the procurement process. While no specific integration requirements are mentioned, the device will be used within the University of New Mexico Hospital's cardiovascular services department.
New Mexico 7/26/25, 2:00 AM 6/26/25, 2:00 AM LICENSE RENEWALS
The University of New Mexico Hospitals (UNMH) is seeking to procure recurring services for its existing Bed Management Software from TeleTracking Technologies, Inc. The procurement involves license renewals and ongoing maintenance for multiple software systems, including TransferCenter, BetTracking, PreAdmiTracking, and TransportTracking Software Systems. These software solutions support patient placement management and environmental services tracking within the inpatient hospital environment. The contract encompasses installation, sublicensed software, maintenance, software support, professional services, training, and upgrades. UNMH has identified TeleTracking as a sole source provider due to their proprietary software and unique understanding of the existing system. The contract opportunity is located in Bernalillo County and Albuquerque City, New Mexico, with a proposal due date of July 10, 2025. The procurement process requires the UNM Purchasing Department to post the sole source form on the UNM Sunshine Portal and State of New Mexico Procurement website for 30 days prior to purchase, in compliance with state procurement regulations.
The contract appears to be restricted to the incumbent vendor, TeleTracking Technologies, Inc., with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. The software has been deployed at UNMH for over seven years, suggesting significant technological integration and institutional familiarity. Changing vendors would potentially cause substantial disruption to patient care, require extensive staff retraining, and incur significant conversion costs. The total estimated contract value is $498,808.92 annually, with an initial contract term of one year and options for renewal. The procurement is specifically for a continuation of existing software licenses and support services, with no indication of competitive bidding. The sole source justification emphasizes the vendor's unique technological capabilities and the potential risks associated with transitioning to an alternative provider. The contract will be processed through standard New Mexico state procurement procedures, with transparency maintained through public posting of the procurement documents.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises based on the provided documentation. The City will establish multiple contractor agreements, allowing flexible project-by-project service procurement without committing to a specific service volume. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available information, the broad scope of services covering 680 facilities suggests potential significant annual service opportunities. The non-exclusive nature of the agreement indicates that multiple contractors may be selected to provide on-call plumbing services, creating a competitive pool from which the City can draw as needed.
