Emergency procurement - computer center AC unit - keltic DBA CL north

New Mexico State University is conducting an emergency procurement for replacement of an air conditioning unit at the Keltic DBA CL North Computer Center under NMSA 1978 Section 13-1-128 B, with bids due July 18, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MDT. This is procurement number 2027-EMER-857.

The emergency designation indicates that standard competitive bidding procedures have been waived due to urgent operational necessity—equipment failure or critical cooling system breakdown that could compromise computer operations and data integrity. Keltic DBA CL North has been identified as the vendor under emergency procurement authority, which authorizes expedited acquisition rather than full competitive process.

No specific line items, quantities, detailed technical specifications, site visits, pre-bid conferences, contract value, funding amounts, set-asides, or award date are disclosed in the posting. Bid opening occurred on July 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MDT. Cole Collins of NMSU is the primary contact at colec@nmsu.edu or (575) 914-3744. No prerequisites for bid entry are established.
