Amped- alternative education program

Chaves County is issuing a Declaration of Intent to Procure via sole source the AMPED Alternative Education Program from Chaves County CASA, with a protest deadline of June 15, 2026 and a due date of June 28, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with no open competition.

Chaves County CASA, located at 500 N Main Street, Suite 314 in Roswell, New Mexico, is the designated sole-source vendor. The justification for sole-source award is Chaves County's receipt of a continuum grant from the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department under the Juvenile Continuum Act for Juvenile Offender Program.

The program establishes a day reporting center serving as an alternative education site for youth suspended from school for 3 to 10 days or on long-term suspension. Services include early intervention and assessment to enable participating youth to obtain, maintain, or complete academic credits while not attending regular school, with the aim of reducing recidivism and diverting youth from further involvement in the juvenile justice system.

The estimated annual contract value is $54,000 or more per year. Inquiries regarding the procurement should be directed to Analicia Nieto, Chaves County Purchasing Director, at 575-624-6615 or ana.nieto@chavescounty.gov.
