Motimatic PBC-Sole Source Pre-Award

New Mexico State University (NMSU), specifically the Dona Ana Community College (DACC) Chancellor's Office, is conducting a sole source procurement for marketing services from Motimatic PBC through the Pistol Pete's Bidding System. The procurement, identified as number 2025-SSC-719, seeks to acquire specialized marketing services designed to increase student retention, graduation, and transfer rates at community colleges. The solicitation was released on June 26, 2025, with a response deadline of July 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDT. The procurement is being processed under NMSA 13-1-128 and Procurement Code 13-1-126, which governs sole source procurement processes. Interested parties have a 15-calendar day window to challenge the sole source designation by submitting written reasoning and qualifications to the Director of Purchasing. The procurement contact is Adrian Carabajal, who can be reached at acar67@nmsu.edu or +1 575-646-3578. The university reserves the right to be the sole judge of equivalence for any potential alternative proposals.

The sole source procurement is specifically for Motimatic PBC and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract term is from July 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with a total contract value of $78,200. Since the procurement amount is less than $60,000, it will not require posting on NMSU's public site for 30 days. The justification for the sole source procurement emphasizes that the Motimatic product has unique characteristics not available in comparable products, which eliminates the need for competitive bidding. The procurement has been reviewed and approved by key personnel, including Vicki Haggard from the DACC Chancellor's Office and Monica F. Torres, and ultimately approved by Procurement Services. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements were explicitly mentioned in the documentation.
