Eldorado Wall Company Inc. - Sole Source Pre-Award

New Mexico State University is conducting a sole-source pre-award notification for Eldorado Wall Company Inc. under solicitation 2027-SSC-860, with a public challenge period open through August 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. MDT. This is a sole-source procurement, a decision-flipping constraint that restricts competition to a single named vendor unless successfully challenged.

The scope involves wall construction services; specific project details, quantities, and deliverables are not disclosed in the pre-award notice and are accessible only through the bidding system. NMSU has determined that Eldorado Wall Company Inc. is the only qualified source capable of meeting the state's requirements, though the justification document does not articulate the unique qualifications, specialized expertise, or existing capabilities that support this determination.

Interested parties may challenge the sole-source designation within 15 calendar days of the July 9 posting by submitting written challenges to Cole Collins, Director of Purchasing, at purchasing@nmsu.edu or +1 575-914-3744. Challenges must include detailed qualifications and specifications demonstrating equivalent or greater service or goods capability. NMSU reserves the right to be the sole judge of equivalence. No contract value, contract term, incumbent information, place of performance, evaluation criteria, or anticipated award date is disclosed in the pre-award materials. The sealed bid deadline is August 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. MDT.
