The solicitation includes provisions for potential preference discounts for New Mexico-based businesses, specifically offering advantages to resident businesses, resident veterans, and Native American-owned companies. Bidders must complete a Campaign Contribution Disclosure Form and a Resident/Veterans Preference Certification Form, which could provide an 8% or 10% preference discount depending on business classification. The contract will be for one year, with the potential for up to three additional one-year renewals, not exceeding a maximum of four years total.
